Successful overnight repair of burst main in north-west Mayo

Water supply has returned to normal levels in the Tallagh area of Belmullet this morning after the successful repair of a burst water main.

Crews worked late into Tuesday night to complete the complex repairs on the main. Repairs were completed at approximately 11 p.m. and the network successfully recharged overnight.

All customers in the area have a full water supply this morning.

Traffic management measures at Tallagh Crossroads were necessary for the works to be carried out safely.
