Crews working to repair burst water main in north Mayo

UISCE Éireann crews are working to repair a major burst in Belmullet this morning.

Customers in Ballyglass, Belmullet and surrounding areas may experience water outages or other supply disruptions today as a result of the burst.

Repairs are expected to be completed by approximately 6 p.m.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers at the end of the network or on higher ground as the system recharges.

To ensure the safety of the crews carrying out the repairs to the burst and the safety of the public, traffic management will be in place and will be clearly signposted.
