Water supply returning to customers supplied by Glenade Water Treatment Plant
Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section
A full water supply is returning to customers in Co Leitrim following an operational issue at Glenade Water Treatment Plant this morning.
Uisce Éireann crews have resolved the issue and the network is now recharging.
Customers supplied by the plant in Kinlough, Tullaghan and surrounding areas should see their normal water supply returning within a couple of hours.
Uisce Éireann’s James Melvin thanked those affected for their patience this morning and explained that it can take a number of hours for the network to refill following an unplanned outage.
“I expect the majority of customers to have a normal water supply after lunch but it can take longer for those customers at the end of the network or on higher ground.”
