Statement by Minister English regarding Water Pipe burst in Navan

Tuesday, 1st August 2017

Like many Navan residents I am very concerned by the Main Water Pipe
burst at Proudstown early this morning. I am in my Department this
morning.  I have had discussions with officials and a full briefing on
this crucial issue for Navan.

Irish Water have assured my Department that they are working on site
to repair the major burst, and that they expect full supply to be restored
later today. I will continue to liaise with Irish Water, my
Department, and Meath County Council throughout the day to monitor
progress on the repairs.

If Irish Water fails to meet their target of today, I have asked Irish Water, my Department and Meath County Council to ensure their back up plan is then ready to implement.
