Progress update on the North Longford emergency water work
A water tanker will remain in place at Abbeylara Handball Alley for affected residents, however users will need to bring their own canisters
Uisce Éireann have confirmed their crews are still on site in Abbeylara as they work to repair a major burst water main at the Rathcronan reservoir.
The incident resulted in significant interruption to customers across Higginstown, Granard, Abbeylara and surrounding areas being affected.
An alternative water supply in the form of a tanker will remain in place at Abbeylara Handball Alley for anyone who needs a fresh supply of water. Customers are reminded to bring their own containers when collecting water from the tanker and to boil the water before use as a precautionary measure.
Uisce Éireann have described the repairs as “challenging and complex” and say their crews are working to restore normal supply as quickly and as safely as possible.
For the safety of crews and the public, a traffic management system will remain in place in the area and will be clearly signposted for the duration of the works.
