Issues with treatment plant causing water problems in North Roscommon

Uisce Éireann is working to maintain water supply for customers on the Boyle/Ardcarne Regional Water Supply Scheme following operational issues at Rockingham Springs Water Treatment Plant overnight. This has resulted in reservoir levels depleting significantly.

While reservoir levels recover and pressure builds in the water network, some customers in Boyle, Ardcarne, Grangemore, Croghan, Cortober Village and surrounding areas, may experience low pressure or interruption to supply until 11 a.m. tomorrow morning, Monday, January 13th, according to the company.

Uisce Éireann’s Ger Greally explained: “We regret any inconvenience as a result of this issue and thank the local community for their patience as we work to restore normal supply. We are appealing to all customers in the impacted areas to conserve water during this time, as the reservoirs replenish. This will help prevent additional strain on the local supply and ensure that normal water pressure and supply can be restored to all residents.”
