Residents in Kickham Street, Kickham Park, Catherine Street, Upper Gladstone Street, and surrounding areas may experience interruptions to their water supply from 11pm on Thursday, 2 October, until 4am on Friday, 3 October.

Dave Murphy of Uisce Éireann said: “We understand the inconvenience caused by an interruption to supply.

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 cooperation.

“Following the completion of the works, it can take two to three hours for normal water supply to return to customers as water refills the network, particularly for those properties on higher ground or at the end of the network.”
