Uisce Éireann has thanked Ballina customers for their patience while they carried out essential repair works overnight.
A normal water supply has been restored to the majority of customers. However, due to a water main burst on Cathedral Road in the early hours of this morning, some customers are experiencing a disruption to their supply.
Crews are on the ground carrying out repairs to return a normal water supply to Clare Street, Howley Terrace, Bunree Road and surrounding areas as quickly as possible.
Uisce Éireann’s Colette Scahill explained that the overnight works, which were essential to secure the drinking water supply for the area, resulted in a burst further down the water main but assured customers that crews are on the ground this morning fixing the burst.
