The people of West Donegal are now entering their 30th hour without running water.
Deputy Pat the Cope Gallagher has said in a statement that Reservoir cleaning works coupled with a local burst repair has resulted in a number of outages for water supply in the Fanmore, Dunfanaghy and surrounding areas.
It’s hoped supply will be restored this evening, as crews are on the ground working to fix the problem.
