Planned outage for customers in Dunboyne and surrounding areas

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is advising of a planned disruption to water supply in the Dunboyne area on Monday, 22 September to facilitate essential works to the water network.

The disruption to supply will be in effect from 1pm to 6pm on Monday and will affect approximately 10,000 properties in Dunboyne and surrounding areas, including Dunboyne, Mill Farm, Dunboyne Castle, Summerhill Road, Dunboyne Business Park, Beechdale and Kilcloon.

Uisce Éireann’s Sinéad Kennedy thanked affected customers for their co-operation ahead of the essential works on Monday.

“We wish to acknowledge the inconvenience caused by a planned outage and assure affected customers that crews will complete the works as quickly as possible to restore normal water supply on Monday evening,” said Sinéad.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers. However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network.  Updates on this work can be found on the Uisce Éireann Supply and Service map by entering the following reference number in the search bar on water.ie: MEA00099101.
