Water supply disruptions possible as Uisce Éireann carries out Inishowen reservoir maintenance

Following successful reservoir cleaning works in parts of Inishowen in recent days, Uisce Éireann crews will move to Gory Hill and Black Farm.

On September 28, works will take place in Gory Hill and the following day Uisce Éireann will be in Black Farm to keep the reservoirs in top condition

Homes and businesses might experience reduced water pressure, temporary discolouration, or intermittent supply during or after the works.
