Uisce Éireann is working with Galway County Council to repair a mechanical fault at Gort Water Treatment Plant and restore water to customers in Gort Town and the surrounding areas as soon as possible.

We understand the inconvenience unplanned outages can have on customers and we appreciate your patience as we work to return the water supply as quickly as possible.”
