Essential maintenance works to safeguard water supply in Donegal

Essential maintenance works to safeguard the water supply are taking place in Donegal. 

Necessary reservoir cleaning works will take place at the Frosses–Inver Regional Water Supply Scheme from today until Friday. Uisce Éireann Crews will be working at Mín Beannaid Reservoir on Thursday. 

Some customers in An Clochán Liath may experience discolouration as a result of these works, but for a short period only. Although unlikely, customers in Mountcharles and Frosses may experience some supply disruptions or water discolouration while the works are underway to clean reservoirs at the Frosses-Inver Water Treatment Plant.

Uisce Éireann is responsible for delivering public drinking water and wastewater services for the people of Ireland.

"These cleaning works of our reservoirs are necessary to continue to provide a safe, clean and reliable supply to customers,” Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan said. “Uisce Éireann understands the inconvenience when planned works like this occur and thanks customers for their patience.”

Donegal County Council recommends you allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return.
