Uisce Éireann urges customers in Boyle and surrounding areas to conserve water

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

Uisce Éireann is appealing to customers in Boyle and surrounding areas to conserve water and protect supply.

Uisce Éireann is working to maintain water supply for the 7,000 customers served by the Boyle/Ardcarne Regional Water Supply Scheme following operational issues at Rockingham Springs Water Treatment Plant in recent days. This has resulted in reservoir levels depleting significantly.

While reservoir levels recover and pressure builds in the water network, some customers in Boyle, Ardcarne, Grangemore, Croghan, Cortober Village and surrounding areas, may experience low pressure or interruption to supply.

Uisce Éireann’s Ger Greally explained: “We regret any inconvenience as a result of this issue and thank the local community for their patience as we work to restore normal supply. Some localised overnight restrictions may be required to ensure daytime supply to homes and businesses.

“We are appealing to all customers in the impacted areas to conserve water during this time, as the reservoirs replenish. This will help prevent additional strain on the local supply and ensure that normal water pressure and supply can be restored to all residents.

“We would ask people to remain vigilant over the coming days and report any leaks in the public network so that our crews can carry out repairs. The public can report leaks or bursts to our Customer Care Team on 1800 278 278."

Uisce Éireann is committed to keeping customers informed across multiple platforms 24/7 and we encourage customers to engage with us through our website, X channels @IWCare and @IrishWater, on Facebook and LinkedIn and through our customer care helpline which is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278.
