Uisce Éireann is working in partnership with Galway County Council to carry out essential maintenance works to safeguard the water supply for homes and businesses supplied by Kilkerrin Moylough. 

Uisce Éireann and Galway County Council wish to advise customers in the Kilkerrin and Moylough areas, that essential maintenance works on Slieveroe Water Storage Tower may cause intermittent loss of pressure and/or temporary disruption to supply to homes and businesses from 3:30 pm on Wednesday, 1 November 2023 until 7 am on Thursday, 2 November 2023. 

Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann will receive direct communication on this planned maintenance work.
