Burnfoot water outage 07.07.26



The majority of homes affected by a water outage in the Burnfoot area have a full supply this morning. Following an intensive repair effort, supply was restored to approximately 40 of the 50 affected homes in the Brea Road, Garvary and Gortcormican areas last night. Crews remain on site this morning and continue to work to restore water supply to the remaining ten homes on Inch Island.

An alternative water supply is available at Food Guru fast-food takeaway in Burnfoot. The tanker will remain in place until all customers have their normal water supply restored. Customers are reminded to use their own containers and boil the water before use.

Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan thanked the Burnfoot, Buncrana and wider communities for their patience and support throughout the outage in recent days and assured those continuing to experience a disruption to supply that crews are making every effort to return water as soon as possible.

Once repairs are completed, it may take a number of hours for the water supply to return to all properties, particularly for customers at the end of the network or on higher ground, as the system gradually recharges.

Customers can contact Uisce Éireann's customer care team on 1800 278 278 should they have any queries.
