Repairs underway following major water main burst in South Leitrim
Customers in Ballinamore, Fenagh, Ardrum and surrounding areas may face water supply interruptions as Uisce Éireann repairs a major burst.
Uisce Éireann crews are on site in Leitrim this morning working to repair a major burst on the water main between Keshcarrigan and Ballinamore.
As a result, customers in Castlefore, Drumlitten, Foxfield, Fenagh, Edentinny, Ardrum, Ballinamore and surrounding areas may experience an interruption to their water supply while works are ongoing.
Kevin Love of Uisce Éireann thanked the community for their patience as crews work to fix the burst as quickly as possible.
“We understand the inconvenience caused by an unplanned outage such as this and I can assure the customers impacted that our crews are doing everything to return a full water supply as quickly as possible,” he said.
Crews expect to complete repairs later this morning. Once works are finished, it can take two to three hours for normal supply to return to all customers. It may take a little longer for homes on higher ground or at the end of the network as the system refills.
