Uisce Éireann managing impact of Storm Amy in Meath

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

Uisce Éireann crews have been working overnight and this morning assessing and restoring water services nationwide following the impact of Storm Amy. In Meath, customers may experience disruptions to their water supply served by the water treatment plants at Trim, Clondra (Abbeyfields) and Moynalvey Manor. 

Speaking about the storm, Uisce Éireann’s, Michael Cunniffe said: “Our incident management processes are in place since before the storm hit and crews have mobilised to maintain and restore supplies. Where necessary we have deployed mobile and fixed generators to restore power and restore plants to production.”

In areas where supply has been disrupted, most properties should have adequate storage in their attic tanks for hygiene purposes for at least 24 hours. However, customers are urged to conserve water where possible in order to protect supply while the outages are resolved.” 

There are some simple steps people can take to conserve their water, such as avoiding the use of water-intensive appliances during this time. To learn more about conserving water, visit www.water.ie/conserve.
