Speaking about the essential works, Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, Jack Cronin 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.”
