Power has been restored to Allen Reservoir and customers will continue to experience low water pressure or no water overnight as we work to refill reservoirs.
Power has been restored to Allen Reservoir. A number of smaller water treatment plants and pumping stations are still without power and we are continuing to co-ordinate with the National Emergency Co-ordination Group, Local Authorities, ESB Networks, Civil Defence and other agencies as work continues to restore power and normal water supplies as quickly as possible.
Customers will continue to experience low water pressure or no water in some areas as we work to refill reservoirs following the restoration of power. Impacted areas include Ardcarraig and Clonuff. Alternative water supplies are available at Ardcarraig, at the entrance to the pumping station.
