At least 60 water disconnections will take place across the county in the coming weeks, Donegal County Council has revealed.
It follows the disclosure that 20 disconnections have taken place on non domestic water supplies in recent weeks.
The most recent disconnections took place in Letterkenny and Ardara with other planned for areas within the Letterkenny, Inishowen, Donegal, Glenties and Stranorlar Electoral Areas in the coming weeks.
“These measures become necessary when customers do not engage proactively and meaningfully with the Council in relation to outstanding charges on their account. Both commercial businesses and agricultural supplies have been affected by the disconnections/restrictions and substantial charges will incur to reconnect supplies,” said a council spokesman.
The Council encourages and appeals to all customers in arrears to contact them at (074) 9153900.
Donegal County Council says it would like to thank the very many customers who paid their bills and actively engage with the Council in relation to their non domestic water account.
