Uisce Éireann crews working to repair burst in County Roscommon village

Uisce Éireann is working to restore water supply to customers in a County Roscommon village following a burst this morning.

Every effort is being made to maintain water supply to as many customers as possible, but the burst is impacting some customers in the Cortober area of Carrick-on-Shannon.

Repair works are progressing and are estimated to be completed by 5 p.m. this evening (Thursday). However, it may take a number of hours following repairs for normal water supply to return to all customers, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.

As per best practice, most homes and businesses will have on-site water storage to provide a back-up source of water for sanitation purposes.

“The repairs are being conducted as quickly and as efficiently as possible to minimise disruption and restore the water supply to homes and businesses. We understand the inconvenience an unplanned outage can have on our customers and appreciate their patience as we work to return normal water supply as quickly as possible,” commented Uisce Éireann’s Ger Greally.
