Overnight Maintenance: Potential Water Outages and Traffic Disruptions Confirmed for Ardee

Uisce Éireann has issued an alert for residents and businesses in Ardee and surrounding areas, advising of potential water supply disruptions due to essential maintenance works scheduled for early May.

The works are part of an ongoing commitment to maintain and improve the water infrastructure in Mid-Louth. While the maintenance has been scheduled during night-time hours to minimize the impact on the local community, consumers may experience low pressure or complete supply outages during the work window.

📅 Work Schedule

Start Time: 10:00 PM on Tuesday, 5 May 2026

Estimated Completion: 3:30 AM on Wednesday, 6 May 2026

Affected Areas: Ardee and surrounding local districts

Important Restoration Advice

Following the completion of the works, supply may take some time to return to normal levels. Uisce Éireann recommends that customers allow approximately **3 to 4 hours** after the estimated restoration time for the supply to fully return to all parts of the network.

In some cases, airlocks or temporary discolouration may occur as the pipes refill. It is advised to run the cold kitchen tap until the water runs clear if any discolouration is noted.

“Scheduled maintenance is vital for preventing larger, unplanned outages. We appreciate the community’s patience during these overnight works.”

Traffic and Updates

Motorists in the Ardee area should be aware that the works may also result in localized traffic disruptions. Temporary traffic management may be in place near work sites during the early hours of Wednesday morning.
