Residents in the north west of the county have been advised to expect water shut-offs at night and continued outages this week.
The reservoir interruption is impacting areas including Magheraroarty, Meenlaragh, Meenaclady, Derryconnor Glascherchoo, Falcarragh and the Dunfanaghy side of Falcarragh.
Works are scheduled to take place nightly between 10pm until 9am from until 10th April.
Local councillor Michael McClafferty is calling on Uisce Eireann to meet with elected representatives to discuss solutions to the regular disruption.
“We have serious problems here in the Gortahork pumping station alongside bursts in the area,” Cllr McClaffety said.
He issued this notice to local residents:
“If your water is running at the minute, that will stop tonight at 9pm. If you are unfortunate to not have water all day, you will not have any water for at least the next 24 hours, possibly 2 days.”
“I’ve never seen things so serious,” Cllr McClafferty added.
“I am again asking Irish Water (Uisce Eireann) officials to meet with the six councillors of the Glenties municipal district and listen to hear what is going on.
“Irish Water needs to accept what we are telling them and get the funding to get the infrastructure going again.”
