News and Updates
New connection works may cause supply disruptions to Carrickbrack Road, Old Carrickbrack Road, Old Thormanby Road, Sutton, Howth and surrounding areas in Co. Dublin.
Works are scheduled to take place from 10.00am until 4.00pm on Thursday, 19 March, 2020.
We are reviewing all planned disruptions to water supply over the coming weeks to ensure that the period of time that customers are without water is kept to the absolute minimum and that disruptions only go ahead where they are unavoidable to complete essential work. In some cases the temporary disruption allows us to improve the overall security of water supply by repairing leaks or making a new connection. The majority of customers should still have some water available for hand washing in attic storage or hot water tanks while the main water supply is disrupted.
Irish Water and our contractors are continuing to follow Government and HSE advice and remote working is being implemented where possible for office and site office staff subject to business critical and core business processes being maintained
