Irish water customers face disruption after treatment plant breakdown

Irish Water advises that customers in Trim town and surrounding areas may experience disruption to their supply as urgent repairs are underway following a mechanical breakdown at the water treatment plant

The disruption is affecting Trim town, Rathmolyon, Summerhill and surrounding areas and that there may be disruption to their water supply as urgent repairs are underway following a mechanical breakdown at the water treatment plant yesterday evening. It is expected that the repair will be completed later today.

Water supply to the majority of customers was maintained by water stored in reservoirs last night, however the reservoir storage has been depleted.

Customers may experience disruption to their supply including low pressure and water outages as repairs continue.

Following the completion of the repairs at the plant it may take a number of hours for normal water supply to resume for all customers. Irish Water and Meath County Council regrets the inconvenience caused by this water supply disruption and would like to reassure customers that we are working in partnership with Meath Council to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Irish Water and Meath County Council would like to thank customers for their patience while we carry out these urgent works.

The Irish Water customer care helpline is open 24/7 and customers can call us on 1850 278 278 and contact us on Twitter @IWCare.
