Irish Water and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council wish to advise customers that essential leak repairs will be carried out on Churchview Road between 8pm and 11pm tonight, Thursday January 28.

While repairs are underway, customers will experience low pressure and/or water outages in Churchview Road, Ralahine, Glenageary and surrounding areas in Co. Dublin.

A spokesperson for Irish Water said:

“It may take 2 to 3 hours for normal water supply to return to all customers but it is important to continue to follow the HSE COVID-19 advice and ensure frequent handwashing.

“These essential works will be delivered in adherence with HSE and government guidance on Covid-19 and will be carried out on behalf of Irish Water by GMC Utilities.

“Irish Water and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council understand the inconvenience when repairs are underway and thank customers for their patience while we complete these essential works and restore normal supply to impacted customers.”

Irish Water’s customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1850 278 278 and customers can also contact them on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.

These works are out as carried out as part of Irish Water’s national Leakage Reduction Programme which will see €500 million invested up to the end of 2021 to reduce the level of leakage across the country by fixing and replacing ageing water mains.
