An Irish water project team has successfully restored water supply following a mechanical issue at the water treatment plant.

The utility worked with Meath County Council to support customers in Enfield, with some experiencing temporary disruption to their supply such as low water pressure and water outages.

Further planned works took place last night, 14 September, as new pumps at the plant are being commissioned. In order to carry out these commissioning works there was a planned shut-down of the water treatment plant from 11pm last night until 5am this morning, 15 September. The new pumps will reduce the risk of future supply disruptions.

Crews are onsite again today working to resolve the issue and we are continuing to work to minimise any further disruptions. We continually monitor the performance of the water network and undertake additional works as required to safeguard the local supply."
