The utility said a small amount of sediment had entered its tanker and apologised to customers.

Donegal, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo are under the snow and Ice warning, until 9 this morning as a Storm Herminia bears down on the country.

Uisce Eireann also say that while works to resolve the issue continue, alternative water supplies will be available from 2pm today at Elphin Tower and at Main Street, Strokestown.

Customers in the following areas may experience outages or reduced pressure during these times: Drumshanbo, Leitrim Village, Newtowngore, Ballinamore, Fenagh and surrounding areas.

The company says there has been a notable increase in water demand across the south of the county in recent days.

Repairs of the burst trunk main on the South Leitrim Public Water Supply network are expected to be complete at midday tomorrow.

Uisce Éireann continues to tackle water outages across Roscommon in the aftermath of Storm Darragh.

Uisce Eireann says this is to allow reservoir levels to recover.
