Residents in Portumna and Killimor asked to conserve water due to emergency works

Galway Bay fm newsroom - Residents in the Portumna and Killimor area are being asked to conserve water as emergency repairs are being carried out at the Portumna water treatment plant.

The notice issued by Irish Water and Galway County Council is in an effort to safeguard the water supply and build up water reservoir capacity - as the water treatment plant is currently operating intermittently.

As a result customers may experience water outages or low water pressure in Portumna and Killimor as well as areas between the two towns while the works are ongoing.

Irish Water says it will continue to monitor the Portumna treatment plant and will increase production at the plant as soon as it is safe to do so.
