Approximately 700 premises in County Clare are without water supply as of yesterday afternoon, according to Uisce Éireann.

Due to a loss of power at pumping stations along the network, customers on the Ballymacravan Public Water Supply, including Ennistymon, Lisdoonvarna, Ballyvaughan, Doolin, Fanore, Lahinch, Cliffs of Moher and surrounding areas may still be experiencing a loss of supply. Customers on the Old Doolough Public Water Supply, may also be experiencing supply disruptions, including Rockmount.

A statement from Uisce Éireann reiterated its ongoing efforts to address these issues: "Please be assured Uisce Éireann crews are continuing to work tirelessly to ensure the affected sites have power returned to them as quickly as possible, there are approximately 14 generators installed at all of the plants, pumping stations and reservoirs where it is required in an effort to ensure water supply is provided.


"We are continuing to work closely with the ESB to prioritise the restoration of electricity supply in the remaining locations where generators are still providing a power source. Customers may experience low pressure or disruptions as the networks begin to recharge, especially those on higher ground or at the end of a network."
