Crews to carry out new connection works on Letteragh Road

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

Crews will carry out essential works along the Letteragh Road to the west of Galway City on Monday next, 31 March. 

The planned connection works will begin at 10am on Monday and are due to be completed by 4pm that afternoon. 

In order to facilitate the works, approximately 200 Uisce Éireann customers in the area may experience outages or disruption to their water supply. Customers along parts of the Letteragh Road, Cúirt Chéirín, The Bailey, The Heath, Breacán and parts of Circular Road as far as Bushypark NS may be affected. Bushypark NS itself will not be affected. 

Temporary traffic management measures will be put in place during the works.  

Uisce Éireann’s Leo O’Shea assured customers that crews will complete the works and restore normal supply as quickly as possible. 

“These planned works are necessary to connect new homes to the public water supply,” said Leo. “We wish to thank affected customers for their understanding and patience while the works are ongoing.” 

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
