However Uisce Éireann will make every effort to minimise the risk of odours and to complete these works as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Uisce Éireann  would like to apologise for any odours that may arise while these essential maintenance works are being carried out.

We would like to apologise in advance for any odours that may arise while the work is being carried out and would ask that any issues be reported immediately to Uisce Éireann so that we can investigate.
