The works were scheduled to support essential upgrades at the Goatenbridge Water Treatment Plant and to repair leaks on the plant’s outlet trunk main. Uisce Éireann confirmed that while crews carried out some maintenance at the facility earlier today, technical difficulties with the repair of the trunk main have forced the delay.

Pierce Faherty of Uisce Éireann said the utility regretted the inconvenience to local homes and businesses that had prepared for the disruption. “We apologise for any inconvenience caused to homes and businesses supplied by the Goatenbridge Water Treatment Plant who may have prepared for an upcoming supply disruption which will not proceed as planned. We are committed to notifying customers ahead of the rescheduled repair works in the coming weeks,” he said.

Mr Faherty also encouraged customers to sign up for Uisce Éireann’s free text alert service, which provides real-time updates on local water issues and planned outages. Customers can register using their Eircode and mobile number via the Text Alerts page on the company’s website.
