Update on Outage in Louth and East and South East Meath, 8:30pm Wednesday, 26 July

• The first stage of the repair is complete.
• Reservoir levels are continuing to slowly fill.
• The Staleen Water Treatment Plant is now back in production.
• Careful management of water entering the water main is taking place.
• Preliminary view of longer term replacement of the 2.2km pipeline suggests a timeframe of at least 18 months and a budget of €2-3m will be needed to complete the work.
• A detailed programme for complete replacement will take a number of weeks to finalise and we will need to undertake detailed planning and design work before we can be confident around the exact timeframe for this to happen.
