Carrying out repairs to Leenane Water Treatment Plant

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is carrying out repairs to Leenane Water Treatment Plant following damage caused by recent inclement weather conditions. 

A partial landslide following Storm Bert resulted in damage to the plant’s inlet pipework. 

While reservoir levels continue to be sufficient to serve homes and businesses, customers will experience a disruption to their supply later today. 

In the meantime, an alternative water supply is available for customers at the car park in Leenane village. Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.

Uisce Éireann’s Tony Kelly has assured customers in the Leenane area that repair works are a priority for Uisce Éireann. 
“Our teams are on site carrying out emergency works to bring the plant back into operation as quickly as possible. We are working to minimise disruption to as many customers as possible.” 

Uisce Éireann is committed to keeping customers informed across multiple platforms 24/7 and we encourage customers to engage with us through our website, X channels @IWCare and @IrishWater, on Facebook and LinkedIn and through our customer care helpline which is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278. Uisce Éireann has launched a free text service, providing real-time updates for local issues. Customers can sign up with their Eircode and mobile number at our Text Updates page.
