Crews working to restore water to Belmullet customers

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

Uisce Éireann crews are working to repair a significant water main burst in Belmullet this afternoon. 
Customers from Emilybeg to Blacksod are experiencing a disruption to their water supply but every effort is being made to return a normal supply as quickly as possible. 

Repairs are expected to be complete by 5pm. Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network. 

Uisce Éireann’s Colette Scahill assured customers that every effort is being made to restore water as quickly as possible. “We understand the inconvenience of an unplanned outage and we thank customers for their support while our works are ongoing.” 

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 continues to provide detailed, real-time, and local information on our water service and supply updates page.
