Repair work is continuing on a burst water main impacting supply in Balbriggan, Co Dublin this morning, Monday, October 28.

Due to the temporary water outage there may be some impact to the supply in Balscadden, Flemington Park, Flemington Lane and surrounding areas. Low pressure will be experienced by all in the areas listed, while those on higher ground will experience loss of supply.

An alternative water supply in the form of a bulk tanker has been arranged and will be in place at Flemington Park from this morning. Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.
