Oil is leaking in Ballybofey, and Donegal County Council is appealing to people to check their own premises in an effort to find the leak.

A spokesperson said: “It has come to the attention of Donegal County Council that traces of heating oil or diesel are present in the sewerage network in Ballybofey. 

“The likely source would appear to be the southern side of the Donegal Road from Ard Mac Carron to Townview Heights and Blackrock Drive.

“All residents are asked to please check the condition of their oil tank and boiler and all connections and pipework linking the two.

Any leaks detected should be repaired as a matter of urgency.”
