Impacted customers thanked for their patience and co-operation during the repair works 

Wednesday, 5 June 2024: Uisce Éireann crews have successfully completed repairs following a burst water main impacting customers in Doonbeg and surrounding areas.

Following reports of a supply disruption, dedicated crews were immediately deployed and worked hard to restore normal water supply to impacted customers as quickly as possible. 

Repairs have successfully been completed and water supply has returned to the majority of customers at Glascoune, Baltard, Bealaha, Farrihy, Doonmore, Doonbeg, Kilrush and surrounding areas in County Clare.  It may take until later this evening before normal water pressure is fully returned to all customers, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network.
