Customers and businesses on the Dublin Road in Galway may  experience disruptions to their water supply today following a burst water main. Our crews have been on site since early this morning carrying out repairs and every effort is being made to restore normal service as quickly and safely as possible.

Impacted areas include Wellpark Retail Park, Sailin, Old Dublin Road and surrounding areas in Galway City.

Tony Kelly Uisce Éireann, said:  "We understand how inconvenient an unexpected water outage can be. Our main priority is fixing this burst and returning a normal supply to all our customers. We really appreciate everyone in the community bearing with us while our crews get water back to homes and businesses." 

Repairs are expected to be completed by 6pm today. Once repairs have been completed, water supplies will return gradually over the following hours. Customers in higher-lying areas or at the ends of the network may experience a longer wait while the water network refills.

To keep our crews and the public safe while repairs are underway, traffic management measures will be in place and clearly signposted. We thank local residents and road users for their cooperation.
