Water supply returning to customers in Stamullen and Bellewstown

Water supply is returning to Uisce Éireann customers in Duleek following complex repair works to a burst water main.

Customers in the Duleek, Stamullen, Donore and surrounding areas in Co Meath are affected as a result of this burst.

While works have successfully been completed on the network it may take a number of hours for full supply to be restored to customers on higher ground and at the end of the network. We will continue to closely monitor flows and reservoir levels to ensure the safe and controlled restoration of water supply.

Supply is returning to customers in Duleek, with supply also beginning to return in Balloy, Carnes, Bellewstown and surrounding areas. However, some customers may continue to experience interruptions or low water pressure as reservoirs refill.

It is expected that supply will return to all areas by tomorrow afternoon.

Alternative water supplies will remain available at;

•    Duleek Playground, Station Road
•    Stamullan Church
•    Donnelly’s Pub, Ardcath
•    Cloghertown
•    Bellewstown

Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from tankers and to boil water before consumption as a precautionary measure.

Uisce Éireann’s Enda Cully said: “We understand the disruption an unplanned outage like this can cause and would like to thank affected customers for their patience while crews worked to repair the burst. We would like to assure customers that we are working hard to restore full supply as quickly and safely as possible.”
