UISCE ÉIREANN IS continuing work on repairing a water main supplying parts of North Dublin this morning.

Homes and businesses in Dublin will continue to experience reduced pressure, discolouration or an intermittent loss to their water supply, Uisce Éireann said.

Crews continue to work on the repair which started late last night. The works are expected to be completed later today.

The repairs are on the trunk main supplying water to Swords, Santry, Malahide, Portmarnock, Kinsealy, Lissenhall, Donabate, Portrane, Clarehall, Malahide Road, and Donaghmede.

The following areas will see water outages continue, likely for the duration of these works, according to the company: Coachmans, Royal Oak and the Airways industrial estate in Santry, Baskin in Kinsealy, and Forest Little in Swords.

Customers in Malahide and Portmarnock may also experience water interruptions as the reservoir levels recover.

Uisce Éireann’s Stephen Burke assured customers that every effort is being made to restore water as quickly as possible.

“We understand the inconvenience of reduced pressure, discolouration, and in some cases loss of supply and we thank customers for their support while our works are ongoing.

“This is an extremely difficult repair, our crews started work last night and repairs are ongoing. We are working to restore supplies as quickly as possible.”

Alternate water supplies will remain in place at:

• Seaview Park, Portrane
• Island View, Malahide
• St. Finian’s Catholic Church, Swords South
• St. Colmcille’s GAA Club, Swords North
• Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Club
• Santry Park

Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tanker and, as a precaution, boil the water before drinking.

As per best practice, most homes and businesses will have on-site water storage to provide a backup source of water for sanitation purposes. Uisce Éireann advises customers to familiarise themselves with their storage capacity.
