Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is carrying out planned routine flushing of the water network in the Smear area in the coming week. 

As a result, customers in Smear, Rossduff, Lornadrung, Enaghan, Lisaherty, Drumhalry, Gleenrath, Dunbeggan, Polladoey, Aghakine, Rathmore, Aughnacliffe and the surrounding area may experience low water pressure, temporary water discolouration or intermittent disruptions to water supply between 8.30 am and 5pm from Monday 15 September to Friday 19 September.

Uisce Éireann’s Water Operations Lead David Gibbons said, “ We understand the inconvenience caused by these essential works. Every effort will be made to limit the impact on the water supply to local homes and businesses. We would like to thank the local community in advance for their support and patience.”

Customers are also advised to check the supply and services section of the website.

Water can be discoloured due to sediment (including naturally occurring metals such as manganese and iron) becoming dislodged from old pipes or works on the water network in your area. 
In the event of discolouration, running the cold kitchen tap for several minutes. More information on discoloured water can be found on our website.
