Uisce Eireann says with essential maintenance works taking place in south and west Donegal this week, some interruptions to supply are possible.
The water utility says its crews are continuing with necessary cleaning works at reservoirs on the Frosses–Inver Regional Water Supply Scheme today tomorrow and Friday.
Although unlikely, Uisce Eireann management say customers in Mountcharles and Frosses may experience some supply disruptions or water discolouration while the works are underway.
Tomorrow, crews will be working at Mín Beannaid Reservoir, and some customers in Dungloe may experience temporary discolouration as a result of these works, but that should only be for a short period.
Uisce Éireann says customers can access a 24 hour care helpline, and a text service, providing real-time updates for local issues.
