DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has advised about 40,000 homes across north Dublin will be affected by water supply disruptions over the weekend.
From 6am this morning to midnight on Sunday, essential works will be carried out on the network, leading to a reduction in service with reduced pressures and loss of supply in some area.
The work is taking place at three junctions – at the Forrest Rd and Cooks Rd, (rear Dublin airport, Swords); adjacent to Naul Rd/R132 Junction close to Cloghran Roundabout, Swords; and off road adjacent to Naul Rd/Forrest Rd.
The areas most likely affected will be Clare Hall, Darndale, Clonshaugh, Donaghmede, Artane, Coolock, Kilmore, Kilbarrack, Riverside Estate, Barrycourt Road, Adare Estate, Millbrook Lorcan, IDA Clonshaugh, Belmayne, Santry, Swords and Clongriffin.
Both Dublin City and Fingal councils said they will provide a number of mobile tankers in the area and all efforts will be made to minimise the disruption.
Water supply will also be diverted from elsewhere on Dublin’s network to reduce the impact the works will have on any one area.
A map of the affected areas can be downloaded here.
For further information, residents can contact 01-2222222 or 01-6796186 (after hours) or North City Maintenance Depot on 01 864 3634.

And all the criticism I got for having build a rain water collector I won’t be too badly affected as it’s used for toilet flushing,
Very good idea, save a fortune when metered rates come in.
Unless they check the flow from the waste
Surely it would have been wiser to do this during the week when most people are at work or during unsocial hours like between 11pm to 5am! Most people are off work and at home at the weekends!
havent heard anything more real today BPP. water falls on our rooves, why not do that with it instead of directing it to the drains?
Its a great way of saving water, just think of the amount of it that falls on our roofs each year. I’ve thought for a couple years now that there should be two water feeds into a house. One ‘clean’ for drinking that has been treated and one ‘dirty’ for the likes of flushing toilets. It makes no sense that we are flushing down the toilet gallons of perfectly good drinking water every day.
@ itchy brain, is it a fully plumbed in rain water system or large barrel. if fully plumbed in can you post website or info on where you got it or who fitted it.
I did it all myself but it was more work than i expected and I went over my budget (hence all the criticism) and I’m still worried about how the next big freeze is going to treat it when it is supposed to be most beneficial. PM if you wish and I will give you more details.
Despite that negativity I don’t regret doing it!
Sorry Lynton but that’s a mistake on your part – imagine expecting logic from the Local authorities!!!
They are asking for trouble. The build up from the half time nerves of irelands rugby match may overwhelm the system and use the solitary flush prematurely. Do they ever consider peoples lives or go out of their way to be disruptive as possible. A smelly weekend to look forward to.
Yeah and how much better would it be to have the disruption during the week when you can’t shower for school or work! You would bitch, whine and moan no matter when they do it – damned if they do and damned if they don’t
get real…
Get some green thumbs!
dont care abt metered same all in world have it
have your say
