Uisce Éireann announces planned outage for this Kildare region next week
The works will be a part of the organisation’s National Leakage Reduction Programme
Uisce Éireann (UE) has announced a planned outage for one County Kildare early next week.
According to UE, it will be carrying out ‘essential works’ to the water network in Maynooth.
“To facilitate these works, a water outage is necessary,” UE added.
Specifically, UE said that this set of works will form part of its National Leakage Reduction Programme, which aims to fix leaks and replace old, damaged pipes, in order to ‘provide a safer more reliable supply of water to homes and businesses’.
UE’s Nicola Butler thanked affected customers for their co-operation ahead of the essential works: “We wish to acknowledge the inconvenience caused by a planned outage and assure affected customers that crews will complete the works as quickly as possible to restore normal water supply.”
IMPROVEMENTS
UE asserted that the works ‘will strengthen the water supply network in Maynooth and surrounding areas, reduce disruption to homes and businesses, and improve the operational performance of the water network’.
“Typically, it takes two to three hours following repairs for normal supply to restore to all customers,” UE explained. “However, it may take longer for normal supply to be restored to customers on higher ground or at the end of the network. “
Updates on these works can be found on UE’s Supply and Service map by entering the following reference number on water.ie: KLD00117818.
Residents can engage with UE through its website, X channels (@IWCare and @IrishWater), Facebook, LinkedIn, and through its customer care helpline, which is open 24 / 7 on 1800 278 278.
In addition, UE has a free text service, providing real-time updates for local issues.
Customers can sign up with their Eircode and mobile number at www.water.ie.
UE’s upcoming works will take place from 8am until 5pm on Monday, 10 August, 2026.
It should be noted that the works may result in a disruption of supply or loss of pressure for UE customers in Maynooth, as well as its surrounding areas.
