Drinking Water Alert

Published: September 4th 2024

A water disruption has been reported in the Ballina area, Mayo. Includes traffic issues. Reference number for Uisce Eireann website: MAY00082427.

Repairs to a burst water main may cause supply disruptions to Castle Court, Arbuckle Row, Belleek Manor, Belleek Lodge, Belleek Castle, Bachelors Walk, Ashpool, Belleek Road, Ballina and surrounding areas in Co. Mayo.

A traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the works.

Works are scheduled to take place until 4pm on 4 September.

A water tanker will be available in at Bachelors Walk & Belleek Castle from 10am until 4pm on 4 September.

Uisce Éireann make every effort to ensure that the alternative drinking water supply provided, including the tanker / bowser, and dispensing tap, are adequately disinfected.  However as it is not practical to provide sterilised containers for the public to transport drinking water from the tanker to their homes, we cannot guarantee that any containers used by the public do not negatively impact or contaminate the drinking water. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, it is recommended that any members of the public who obtain water from a tanker or bowser boil the water before use. 

We recommend that you allow 3-4 hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return.
