The works are scheduled to take place at various locations between Saturday, 26 August, 2023 and Friday, 1 September, 2023.
To facilitate the safe delivery of the Water Network Maintenance Programme, customers specifically in the following areas Seatown, Dundalk, Knockbridge Blackrock and surrounding areas may experience low pressure, water discolouration and/or water outages for short periods.
Crews will make every effort to minimise the disruption to impacted customers and will work to complete these works as quickly and as safely as possible.

Speaking about the works, Michael Cunniffe, Regional Asset Operations Lead at Uisce Éireann said, "Essential planned maintenance works can be inconvenient and working in partnership with our colleagues in Louth County Council, we will make every effort to minimise the disruption that these necessary works may cause.
