An appeal has been made for people in the greater Dublin area to conserve water this weekend ahead of “critical and complex” repair works.

A pipeline supplying one third of the region’s drinking water is at risk of failure and will be turned off for 28 hours from 11pm tonight to enable complex repairs to take place.

Some people may experience interruptions to their water supply including low pressure, discoloured water, or water outages.

A spokesperson for Uisce Éireann said: “We are appealing to everyone to act together and only use water for essential needs.”

The works scheduled for the weekend will repair a major pipeline that connects Ballymore Eustace Water Treatment Plant with the Saggart Reservoir, both south west of the city.

Engineers are scheduled to “work through the day and night” to maintain the water supply as there is 28 hours’ storage to supply customers in the area.

Declan Healy of Uisce Éireann said specialist teams would repair five active leaks and replace 35 metres of pipeline.

The major pipeline supplies one third of the Greater Dublin’s drinking water and will be turned off to facilitate these repairs.
