Localised overnight water restriction required to support leak repairs

With Uisce Éireann crews continuing to maintain water supplies across Dublin following the impacts of the recent weather events on water treatment infrastructure, localised restrictions will be required tonight. 

Following the impacts of the recent weather events, combined with continued high demand for water, the overnight restrictions will be required tonight in areas of Inchicore and Collins Avenue in North Dublin, and in parts of Ballyogan, Dalkey, Sandycove and Mounttown in South County Dublin to assist with leakage detection and repairs, and manage reservoir levels.

Customers in these areas will experience reduced pressure and/or outages from 8pm tonight, 24 January, until 6am tomorrow morning.

It may take several hours following restoration of pressure for normal supply to be fully restored due to the size of the network.

Stephen Burke, Regional Operations Manager with Uisce Éireann, said: “We recognise that this will cause some inconvenience to customers in the affected areas and thank them for their patience while we carry out essential works to address leakage and manage reservoir levels.

“Customers can get updates on their local supply on water.ie.”

Customers are advised to check water.ie and to report loss of service or visible leaks to assist Uisce Éireann to identify burst pipes.
