Uisce Eireann says water supplies are returning to customers in Gortahork and Falcarragh following an interruption to the water supply at Ardsbeg Water Treatment Plant which crews worked to rectify yesterday.
However, they say customers in higher elevation areas may continue to experience loss of supply or low water pressure until reservoirs fully recharge later this afternoon, as full reservoir levels are required to restore pressure to elevated sites.
Uisce Éireann’s Adrian Gillespie thanked customers for their ongoing patience as reservoir levels continue to replenish over the course of the day.
