RESIDENTS URGED TO SAVE WATER OR SHORTAGES WILL WORSEN

Date Published: 29-Dec-2009

Water supplies may be shut down for longer periods, and the numbers of people without water may grow if county Galway residents do not conserve water.

Senior county council engineer Liam Gavin says the water problem is stablising but there is an immediate need to rebuild supplies.

Many parts of the county served by the Mid Galway Regional Water supply are still without water due to a huge drop in pressure.
