Irish Water will write to affected customers prior to the work taking place. The majority of the programme is expected to be completed by October of this year with work scheduled to take place on the Hollywood and Valleymount/Ballyknockan reservoirs in Spring 2017.

It is important for us to inspect all our assets and carry out routine maintenance work. We apologise to customers who may be impacted by water interruptions during programme.
