A programme of essential leak repair works has been announced on the water supply in Dundalk.

Work will get underway tomorrow, Tuesday 14 June from 10am until 6pm, safeguarding water supply for homes and businesses in Dundalk.

Irish Water is working in partnership with Louth County Council to deliver the repairs. Customers on the Dublin Road (between Xerox Junction and Felda Junction), Dundalk and surrounding areas may experience temporary low pressure and/or water outages during the works.

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. It typically takes two to three hours following restoration time for the network to refill and normal water supply to fully return.

Speaking about the works, Michael Cunniffe, Regional Asset Operations Lead at Irish Water said: "Irish Water understands that essential 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.

"Customers may experience some temporary discolouration of water following the works and occasionally issues such as internal airlocks may arise. For advice on clearing discoloration and airlocks, visit the Supply Issues Following an Outage section of our website."
