Essential water main works may cause discolouration in Limerick homes
UISCE Éireann is working in partnership with Limerick City and County Council (LCCC) to carry out essential maintenance works to safeguard the water supply for homes and businesses supplied by Newcastle Reservoir.
Uisce Éireann and LCCC wish to advise customers in Limerick City and its environs, that reservoir cleaning works at Newcastle Reservoir in Limerick City may lead to discolouration in the local water supply, for a period of time.
If discolouration occurs, it may be intermittent and take up to 48 hours to clear across the network.
It is recommended to run the kitchen tap for a few minutes to see if the water returns to a clear colour.
