Water Outage Issue, Clonmellon, Traffic Disruptions

A reservoir interruption may cause supply disruptions to Castlepollard, Delvin, Drumcree, Clonmellon and surrounding areas in Co. Westmeath.

Works are scheduled to take place from 10pm on 25 November until 7am on 26 November.

An alternative water supply will be available at Castlepollard, Clonmellon and Delvin from 5pm  on 25 November until 4pm on 26 November.

Úisce Eireann make every effort to ensure that the alternative drinking water supply provided, including the tanker / bowser, and dispensing tap, are adequately disinfected.  However as it is not practical to provide sterilised containers for the public to transport drinking water from the tanker to their homes, we cannot guarantee that any containers used by the public do not negatively impact or contaminate the drinking water. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that any members of the public who obtain water from a tanker or bowser boil the water before use. 

We recommend that you allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return.
