Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn has called on Irish Water to commence the promised upgrade works in Clonmany, following another water outage in the area.
A Boil Water Notice was issued to 8,900 customers on the Inishowen West Public Water Supply and Carndonagh Mixed Public Water Safety yesterday.
The notice also affected Carndonagh, Gleneely, Malin, Ballyliffin, Urris and Glenmakee Public Group Water Scheme and surrounding areas.
Calling for water upgrade works to start now, Pádraig Mac Lochlainn said: “Uisce Éireann recently confirmed that 790 metres of old water mains would be replaced in Straid and Gaddyduff and that the works would start in mid July.
“I have contacted them today, seeking an update on their plans following this latest outage.
“People across the Clonmany parish have suffered from a very poor water network for far too long and a recent public meeting highlighted the sheer frustration of the local community.
“Uisce Éireann believe that these upgrade works will make a big difference.
“Those works need to get underway.”
