The incident occurred on Letteragh Road, with homes and businesses in Letteragh Road, The Heath, The Bailey, Rahoon and surrounding areas in Galway City all affected.
Irish Water and Galway City Council have deployed a team to restore water supply as quickly as possible. Repairs are underway and are expected to be completed by 4pm this afternoon, 17 December. Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers affected by an unplanned outage. To ensure the safety of the public and crews carrying out the repairs to the burst, traffic management is in place and clearly signposted.
