Preparations underway for dealing with the severity of Storm Éowyn

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

Wednesday, January 22, 2025 - Due to the predicted severity of the storm, Uisce Éireann has activated its incident management processes, including deploying generators at key sites where power outages are likely. Uisce Éireann crews will mobilise and assess any damage to plants as soon as safe to do so and work to restore supply as quickly as possible. We are also in touch with key stakeholders through the National Emergency Coordination Group and with the ESB to coordinate the return of power to key water services sites post storm. 

In the event of a loss of supply, most properties should have adequate storage in their attic tanks for hygiene purposes for at least 24 hours. There are some simple steps people can take to conserve their water, such as avoiding the use of water-intensive appliances during this time. To learn more about conserving water, visit our conservation section.

Customers can stay informed about their local water supply by visiting www.water.ie, via Uisce Éireann’s X feed, @IWCare, or by signing up for our free text alert service via the website. Alternatively get in touch via our 24/7 customer care centre at 1800 278 278.
