Uisce Éireann crews are working to restore normal water supply to premises in Ballina town centre following a burst. 

Fewer than ten premises, including a school in the Market Square area, are experiencing a disruption to their supply today. 

The burst occurred yesterday evening (Monday) during road works in the area. Uisce Éireann crews have isolated the burst and expect to have it repaired later today (Tuesday).

Uisce Éireann’s Colette Scahill assured customers that repairs will be carried out as quickly as possible. 

“We understand how disruptive unplanned outages are and we regret the inconvenience caused. We are working to restore normal supply across to customers affected,” she said. 

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. 

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communications from us for planned and unplanned outages lasting more than four hours.

Uisce Éireann’s customer care team are available 24/7 on 1800 278 278. Customers can also contact then on X @IWCare with any queries. 

Uisce Éireann also has a free text service, providing real-time updates for local issues. Customers can sign up with their Eircode and mobile number on the Water Service Updates page.
