Uisce Éireann’s efforts to safeguard water supply for homes and businesses in Donegal is continuing, with essential maintenance works taking place this week.

Crews will continue with necessary reservoir cleaning works at reservoirs on Frosses–Inver Regional Water Supply Scheme today (Wednesday), Thursday and Friday.

Although unlikely, customers in Mountcharles and Frosses may experience some supply disruptions or water discolouration while the works are underway to clean reservoirs at the Frosses-Inver Water Treatment Plant today and Friday.

On Thursday, crews will be working at Mín Beannaid Reservoir and some customers in An Clochán Liath may experience discolouration as a result of these works, but for a short period only.

Speaking about the maintenance works, Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan said: "These cleaning works of our reservoirs are necessary to continue to provide a safe, clean and reliable supply to customers. Uisce Éireann understands the inconvenience when planned works like this occur and thanks customers for their patience.”
