Uisce Éireann warns city centre firms to stockpile water

Thu, Mar 13, 2025

Uisce Éireann has advised businesses in Galway city to horde massive supplies of water on site in case “difficult” network leaks result in multi-day outages.

The advice to stockpile 24-hour supplies of water appears in emails seen by the Advertiser from the national water utility, addressed to Galway City Council chief executive, Leonard Cleary.

The correspondence stems from the consequences of two major water shortages in Galway city last year - in August and November - which caused a number of city centre pubs, restaurants, guesthouses and other businesses to close during the first weekend of the busy Christmas shopping period, and during peak summer tourist season.
