UISCE Éireann is encouraging customers to sign up for its free text alert service as it ramps up investment in Ireland’s water infrastructure to unprecedented levels.

Planned capital investment of over €10 billion over the next five years in areas such as leakage reductions, repairs to bursts and outages, and treatment plant upgrades will see hundreds of live projects underway in every corner of Ireland.

This will lead to major improvements in water quality, security and resilience; however short-term disruptions are inevitable as a result, and staying informed is essential.

By signing up to the free text service, customers can receive real-time updates tailored to their area, helping them prepare for any interruptions.

To date over 250,000 people have signed up to the service, and are benefiting from up-to-the-minute information about their water supply.

The service provides alerts on water outages, boil water notices, and other supply interruptions expected to last longer than four hours.

Whether planned or unplanned, these alerts are delivered directly to your phone.

Signing up is quick and easy.

Simply visit https://www.water.ie and enter your Eircode and mobile number.

The service is free and available to all households and businesses.

You can also sign up on behalf of loved ones to ensure they receive timely updates.
