A project team has begun work on site in the County Galway town of Headford to safeguard the water supply.

Irish Water is working with Galway County Council to deliver the key works, which began today, Wednesday 29 June, at 9.30am and are expected to run until 2pm.

During the works, customers in Headford Town, Cordarragh, Ballyfruit and surrounding areas may experience temporary, intermittent low pressure and/or water outages. Typically it takes two to three hours following restoration time for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas.

Speaking about the works, Rónan Daly, Irish Water said: "Irish Water understands that this type of work can be inconvenient and, working in partnership with Galway County Council, we will make every effort to minimise the disruption that these necessary works may cause.

"Customers may experience some temporary discolouration of water following the works and occasionally issues such as internal airlocks may arise. For advice on clearing discoloration and airlocks, visit the Supply Issues Following an Outage section of the website."
