Water off in Connemara?

    Not got much info, but is anyone else having issues with their water supply west of Galway? There's no listing for water interruptions in this area.

    Somewhat ironically, it's also bucketing rain at the moment (no, I don't think this is relevant!).

    Did you try turning your tap on and off again?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,544 ✭✭✭Samaris


    I did, alas, and no dice :D

    I also tried glaring at the router, but that had no effect either. (I might try a threatening tone next)

    Hot water and bathroom water is on, so I assume all of that comes from the tank.

    Is all the electrical stuff at the tank getting power and switched on?

    I'll sell you some water, how much you want?

    They turned it off because they forgot to put the odour in it. Better safe than sorry.

    I didn't know they had piped water in Connemara.



    And you have the internet too? Interesting.

    We have shoes too!

    Internet can be a bit hit and miss.

    No issues at the tank, Arm Am Eye, water coming from there no problem (although I have to assume that it's limited as it can't refill from the mains).

    Yeah but you have to make them yourself

    I...think I'd have heard about that, unless it's really, really new. Last bout was 2016 on the Carraroe supply as I recall, although we're not on that one.

    I really hope it's not either. A lot of rain recently, mind you. I guess it's possible (really hope not >.>).

    Aha, that might well be relevant! Thanks, osarusan. I'll probably give IW/Galway CoCo a call in a bit if the water's not back in an hour or so.
