Uisce Éireann will carry out essential maintenance to protect water services for households and businesses across West Donegal.

Crews have started work today, 01 December, to undertake reservoir cleaning at the Croithlí Water Treatment Plant. Works will then continue on Tuesday and Wednesday at reservoirs serving Leitir Mhic an Bhaird, An Machaire, Port Nua, Ros Beag and nearby areas, where customers may experience reduced pressure or temporary interruptions while activity is under way.

The programme will run daily between 8am and 6pm, with teams aiming to complete the cleaning as efficiently as possible and return supplies to normal promptly.

Uisce Éireann's Damien O'Sullivan said: "These cleaning works of our reservoirs are necessary to continue to provide a safe and reliable supply to customers. The majority of customers will see their water supply return within a few hours while those on elevated sites may continue to experience an intermittent supply until later in the evening while the network fully recharges, and reservoir levels replenish. Some customers may also experience discolouration in their supply as reservoirs return to normal service, but this will be for a short period only."

Further updates will be posted on the Supply and Service Updates section of the Uisce Éireann website. Customer care is available 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and on X at @IWCare.
