3000 customers are affected by a burst water pipe in Athenry, according to Irish Water
The water authority and Galway County Council are working on the emergency repairs to the burst pipe which supplies the town of Athenry.
Water supply to Clarenbridge and Kilcolgan may also be affected as well as group water schemes between Athenry and Clarenbridge.
The main involved is a 350mili metre pipe which is surrounded by concrete and work is underway to break away the concrete before the pipe can be repaired.
It's expected the repair won't be repaired until 9 tonight when water supply will be slowly restored.
Irish Water says full service may take some time to return until the water refills the network.
