Efforts to restore full water supply to County Roscommon are still ongoing following the impact of Storm Darragh.
Crews from Uisce Éireann have been working to correct issues by the storm, which caused a number of power outages across the county last weekend.
Positive updates include the restoration of electricity and normal water supply to customers on the Arigna Regional Public Water Supply Scheme in North Roscommon and to customers on the Ballinlough/Granlahan Public Water Supply Scheme and the Castlerea Regional Public Water Supply Scheme in West Roscommon.
However, although power has been restored at Rockingham Spring Plant, some customers on the Boyle/Ardcarne Regional Public Water Supply Scheme may still be experiencing water supply disruptions caused by continuing local power outages on the scheme.
Reservoirs on this scheme are slow to replenish and customers are asked to conserve water as much as possible over the coming days.
Customers should be receiving a supply albeit at a lower than normal pressure or on an intermittent basis.
Meanwhile, customers on the North East Regional Public Water Supply Scheme may also be experiencing water outages and/or low pressure. Areas impacted include Elphin, Strokestown, Roosky, Scramoge, Ballyleague, Kilmore, Ballyfeeney, Termonbarry and surrounding areas.
Uisce Éireann's Ger Greally explained: "Electrical power has not yet been restored at the water treatment plant. We are continuing to liaise with ESB Networks and the most recent update is that we will have full power restored on Friday afternoon.
"We are using generators as an interim measure until electricity is restored, resulting in the plant operating at reduced capacity.
"Low reservoir levels across this scheme are leading to intermittent and reduced pressures for customers. Although alternatives water supplies have been stood down, customers, particularly vulnerable customers, are asked to contact our call centre if assistance is required and an alternative water supply will be delivered."
