Planned works by Irish Water are causing disruption to supply in north county Dublin
Residents in Donabate and surrounding areas of north county Dublin are dealing with water outages today.
Works scheduled to take place until 4pm today, January 10, are expected to cause supply disruptions to areas including Beaverstown, Beaverbrook and Donabate.
New connection works may also cause supply disruptions to Portrane Road, Donabate, and surrounding areas.
“Water supply disruptions still remain. I spoke to engineers who are onsite investigating this matter,” councillor Corina Johnston, a Labour Party councillor in the Dublin Fingal, Rush-Lusk area, said.
“Residents in The Links and Carrs Mill estates Donabate are having issues with water supply such as low pressure and tanks not refilling following yesterday’s planned outage on the Portrane Road.
“I reported this matter to Uisce Eireann last night. I have been in contact with Uisce Eireann again this morning requesting that this matter be prioritised, investigated and water restored as soon as possible.
“Uisce Eireann has confirmed their field engineers will investigate this matter as a priority.”
A spokesperson for Uisce Eireann said: “We recommend that you allow three to four hours after the estimated restoration time for your supply to fully return.
“Please take note of the following reference number and enter it into the search bar should you wish to return for an update: FIN00087407.”
The Irish Independent has contacted Uisce Eireann for further comment.
