Uisce Éireann wishes to advise customers in Moneymore, Drogheda of a disruption to water supply from 9pm on Thursday, 23 January until 4am on Friday, 24 January to facilitate ongoing essential watermains replacement works.
The areas affected include Hardman Gardens, Sunday’s Gate, Church Street, Bóthar Bruga, Pearse Park, Sandyford Terrace, Magdalene Street, Rope Walk and surrounding areas in Moneymore. Up to 3,000 customers may be impacted by water interruptions and low pressure.
The works in Moneymore involve the decommissioning of ageing back yard water mains and the delivery of 1633 meters of new water mains constructed along the public road, to improve water quality and provide a more reliable water supply for customers, and to reduce high levels of leakage.
Uisce Éireann’s Declan Healy said: “We understand the inconvenience caused by water outages. Every effort will be made to limit the impact of these essential works and we would like to thank the community in advance for their patience and co-operation. Following the completion of the works, it can take 2-3 hours for the normal water supply to return as water refills the network, particularly for those properties on high ground or at the end of the network.”
Uisce Éireann’s customer care team is available to help 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact us on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.
