Uisce Eireann Complete Repairs To Watermain Serving Residents In Wicklow

Critical and complex repairs have been successfully completed to a major trunk watermain that connects Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant and the Saggart Reservoir.

Specialist crews from Uisce Éireann and Local Authorities turned off the water to the trunk main on Monday night with repair and excavation crews working around the clock to repair the pipeline. Critical repairs were completed in the early hours of Wednesday morning and water is now refilling the network.

As the network continues to replenish, customers in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow may be impacted by low water pressure and discoloured water throughout today, while customers in the north Naas area will see their water returned over the course of the day.

Uisce Éireann is again asking the public in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow area to continue to make every effort to conserve water while the network is refilling following the shut-off period. This will help all customers have a full water supply as quickly as possible.

The Uisce Éireann customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on X @IWCare with any queries. For updates please visit the Water Supply Updates section of www.water.ie
