Customers in Ballymacahara, Killiskey, Nun's Cross, Callowhill, Newcastle, Coyne's Cross, Newtown, Kilmurry, Delgany and surrounding areas in County Wicklow may experience interruptions to water supply or reduced water pressure between the hours of 6am and 6pm  .Uisce Éireann’s Eoghan Forristal said: “Every effort will be made to reduce the impact of these works on homes and businesses and restore the water supply as quickly as possible. We understand the impact that outages can have on customers and would like to thank the local community in advance for their patience and co-operation during the works.”  Following the works, it may take three to four hours for normal supply to fully restore to all areas as the water refills the network, especially for those on higher ground or at the end of the network. As the water supply returns, there may be some increased instances of discoloured water in the short-term.
