Work to safeguard water supply in Trim, Co Meath, has been announced.

Irish Water will work closely with Meath County Council to deliver safe repairs today, 27 June. Work is expected to be completed by 5pm this evening.

To facilitate the safe delivery of the repair works, customers in Market Street, Watergate Street, Emmet Street, Trim, 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 repair 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 repair works, Michael Cunniffe, Regional Asset Operations Lead at Irish Water said: "Irish Water understands that essential repair works can be inconvenient and working in partnership with our colleagues in Meath 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."
