Water restored to Kinvara area
Galway bay fm newsroom – The water supply to the Kinvara area has been restored after an interruption earlier.
The Water treatment Plant in Kinvara was non operational due a power outage caused by last night’s storm.
A widespread area from Ballinderreen to Kinvara was affected, but a spokesperson for the County Council says power has been restored and the plant is now operational again.
Meanwhile, hundreds of homes in the county are still without power as the ESB struggles to repair faults.
It’s after storm force gusts of up to 150 kilometres per hour battered the whole country overnight.
Further episodes of lightning this afternoon have caused more outages and people could expect to be without electricity until this evening.
Met Éireann says more gale and storm force winds are on the way tomorrow and has issued an ‘orange’ weather alert.
