Essential installation works taking place in Elphin

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

Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers in Elphin and surrounding areas that they may experience low pressure/water outages over the coming days. This is as a result of the planned installation of a new watermain in the Lugboy area as part of the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramogue road project, currently underway in the Elphin area.

Customers may experience intermittent outages and low pressure from Tuesday, 22 October until Friday, 25 October.

The areas that may be impacted include Elphin Town, Lugboy, Caldragh, Tullycartron, Carrownular, Emlagh and surrounding areas.

Uisce Éireann’s Gerard Greally said: “Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on homes and businesses and restore the water supply as quickly as possible. We understand the impact that outages can have on customers and would like to thank the local community in advance for their patience and co-operation during the works.”

As the water supply returns, there may be some increased instances of discoloured water in the short-term. For helpful tips on what to do following an outage, visit our Issues during or after an outage page.
