Water outages in
Inishowen 03.07.25
Uisce Éireann is working to restore
normal water supply to homes and businesses in parts of Inishowen
following a mechanical issue at Illies Water Treatment Plant.
Customers in Cabry, Quigleys Point, Eskaheen, Redcastle and
surrounding areas may experience low water pressure or outages this
morning as a result.
Expert water service crews worked through the night to restore
normal operation of the water treatment plant at Illies. Following
repair works, it typically takes three to four hours for normal
supply to be fully restored to all areas as the water refills the
network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the
network.
