Ballymoe water supply restored after overnight pump failure
Uisce Éireann crews successfully repaired a pump failure that disrupted services in Ballymoe on Sunday. Although normal flow has returned, temporary nighttime restrictions remain tonight to ensure network stability.
Residents in Ballymoe regained their normal water supply today following the successful completion of urgent repairs by Uisce Éireann staff. The disruption originated from an overnight pump failure that left homes and businesses without service earlier on Sunday, prompting immediate intervention from the utility's technical teams.
While the network is now recharging and customers can resume daily activities, the company has advised that supply restrictions will continue tonight between 11pm and 8am. This temporary measure is essential to allow reservoirs to fully replenish and maintain pressure levels for the community in the days ahead.
Ger Greally, a spokesperson for Uisce Éireann, acknowledged the inconvenience caused to families during their weekend and thanked the local community for their patience. The utility noted that vulnerable customers registered for alerts received direct communications regarding the outage duration.
