ESB is reminding the general public of the dangers and potentially serious consequences of swimming in any ESB reservoir
Given the spell of warm weather forecast for this weekend in Donegal and across the country, ESB is reminding the general public of the dangers and potentially serious consequences of swimming in any ESB reservoir.
These waters include the ESB reservoirs at Assaroe Lake, Ballyshannon and Lough Nacung and Lough Dunlewey in Donegal.
Martin Stronge, Senior Manager, Hydro Operations said: “It is important that people take note of the safety warnings which are visible on signs posted around ESB reservoirs. These areas are unsafe for swimming due to deep, fast-flowing waters, fluctuating water levels, and uneven terrain, which present significant hazards to the public."
"To ensure your safety and the safety of others, always choose safer swimming locations such as swimming pools or beaches with designated lifeguards."
