Essential water main upgrade works are to commence in Naas, Kildare.

The improvement works, which are to take place tonight, 27 July, from 10pm to 6am, will help to secure the water supply for homes and businesses in the area.

Typically, it takes two to three hours following restoration time for normal supply to be fully restored to all areas. Water supply will be maintained at Naas General Hospital.

During the works, customers in Naas and surrounding areas may experience intermittent interruptions to their water supply including low pressure and/or outages.

Joe Carroll, Regional Delivery Lead at Uisce Éireann said: "Uisce Éireann understands that this type of work can be inconvenient and working in partnership with Kildare 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 discolouration and airlocks, visit www.water.ie/water-supply/supply-issues/following-an-outage."
