Burst water main leaves a mini-river running down Letterkenny road

Residents in part of Letterkenny were surprised to see what was like a mini-river flowing down a busy road in the town earlier today.

A water main burst in the Glencar Irish area and large amounts of fluid gushed down the road in what is a residential area.

Local councillor Gerry McMonagle said: “I was contacted by a resident this morning on their way to work, who said that there was a river running down the road.”

Cllr McMonagle contacted Irish Water who were on site shortly afterwards to attend to the issue.
