Alternative water supplies for Tír an Fhia customers affected by potential water disruptions

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Alternative water supplies will be available to customers served by the Tír an Fhia Water Treatment Plant in West Galway this weekend due to potential supply disruptions. 

Technical issues at the plant have impacted the water treatment process and as a result, customers in Tír an Fhia and Leitir Mór may experience reductions in pressure or intermittent outages over the coming days.

Tony Kelly, Uisce Éireann Water Network Operations Manager, said that all efforts are being made to restore the plant to normal operations as soon as possible.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused to our customers by supply disruptions such as these and we want to thank impacted customers for their patience as we work to resolve the issues and restore normal supply,” said Tony.

Uisce Éireann is providing alternative water supplies in the form of tankers for customers affected by these supply disruptions. These tankers will be located at:
•    the Leitir Mór Church car park
•    Criminagh
•    Leitir Caladh junction
•    Eircom exchange, Tír an Fhia
 

Customers are asked to bring their own containers to take water from the tankers and to boil the water before consumption as a precautionary measure.
