Irish Water provides update on Westport and Kiltimagh water supplies

DUE to an issue associated with Storm Eleanor, some areas of Westport Town may experience intermittent low pressure in their water supply through this evening and tonight, according to Irish Water.

It is expected that this issue will be resolved once pressure build backs into the water distribution network.

A power outage, due to Storm Eleanor, has impacted the water treatment plant in Kiltimagh.

Irish Water, working with Mayo County Council, have put in place a temporary power supply to run the plant during the power outage.

This has facilitated the return of water supply to many customers in the Kiltimagh area. It may take a number of hours for a normal water pressure to return to customers.
