Avenue Road area hit by burst main pipe

IRISH Water worked in partnership with Louth County Council to repair a burst water main on Avenue Road in Dundalk over the last few days.

The areas that were highlighted as likely to be impacted by disruption to supply were Seafield Lawns; Mourne Vale; Medebawn; Meadow View; Belfry Avenue and Belfry Drive; Avondale Park; Silveroe Crescent and some of the surrounding areas.

Crews are on site working to repair the burst.

The repair was completed later the same day.

A spokesman for Irish Water said ‘Once the repair is complete normal water supply will begin to be restored, full water supply may take some time to return as water refills the network.’

A traffic management plan was put in place adjacent to the area of repair for the duration of the vital works.

‘Irish Water understands the inconvenience when a burst occurs and thanks customers for their patience while we work to repair the burst and restore normal supply to impacted customers,’ said the spokesman.

He added: ‘Irish Water and Louth County Council regrets any inconvenience caused.’

The customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1850 278 278 for customers to obtain information on problems in their area. They can also contact uIrish Water on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.
