Efforts are ongoing to fully restore water supply to homes, farms and businesses across County Meath after last week's disruption caused by Storm Éowyn, Uisce Éireann has confirmed.

While the county's primary water treatment plants and networks have stabilised following widespread power outages, some smaller treatment plants and pumping stations in rural areas remain without electricity.

Medium and large treatment facilities are now operational, thanks to the restoration of mains power and the installation of generators. However, intermittent outages continue to impact smaller plants, and areas such as Moynalty are experiencing low water pressure as reservoirs gradually replenish.

Uisce Éireann has assured customers that teams are working to resolve remaining issues as quickly as possible.

Michael Cunniffe, Uisce Éireann, stated: "We apologise to customers who have been without water since Storm Éowyn struck last week and ask for the public’s continued patience during this challenging time. Our crews are working hard to restore water to all areas of the county as quickly as possible."

Meanwhile, a precautionary boil water notice remains in place to protect the health of approximately 1,860 customers served by the Oldcastle-Kells Water Supply Scheme. A loss of electricity at the Fennor reservoir impacted the treatment processes at the water treatment plant. The impacted areas include Oldcastle, Fennor, Farranaglogh, Ardfrail, Tubride, Newcastle and surrounding areas.
