Several areas of County Roscommon experiencing water problems
Uisce Éireann is warning that due to issues at the Grange Water Treatment Plant customers on the North East Regional Water Scheme in Co. Roscommon will experience low pressure and loss of supply on elevated areas until normal supply is restored overnight.
Issues at the Grange Water Treatment Plant have left many areas of North East Roscommon experiencing low water pressure and loss of supply today, Saturday.
Uisce Éireann has this evening advised that due to issues at the treatment plant customers on the North East Regional Water Scheme will experience low pressure and loss of supply on elevated areas until normal supply is restored overnight.
The following areas are affected: Strokestown, Ballyleague, Ballybeg, Elphin, Tarmonbarry, Scramogue and Slatta.
The company says that the treatment plant is now back in full production but it will take a number of hours to replenish the reservoir levels. Normal supply is expected to be fully restored overnight, however, it may take longer for supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.
Uisce Éireann’s Ger Greally thanked affected customers for their cooperation. “Uisce Éireann acknowledges the disruption that can be caused by an unplanned outage and we wish to thank customers in the area for their patience as the reservoir continues to replenish to normal levels. We expect full supply to be returned to all customers overnight. During this time, we are continuing to appeal to customers on this supply to conserve water."
