The works will see an ice slush pumped into a water main and forced along the inside to clean the pipe by removing sediment and other unwanted deposits. Work will begin on Tuesday 17 December and is expected to be completed the following day.
This comes after the area was issued with a Boil Water Notice.

During the latest works, some Irish Water customers may experience water discolouration and intermittent water supply. The following locations will be impacted; Mullacrew to Tallanstown Village; Glyde Rd (Up to Rathbrist Cottages); Rathbrist Cottages; Glyde View; Tallansfield Manor; Chestnut Grove; Springfield; R171 Tallanstown to Ardee Rd (Glyde Rangers GFC to Village); Tallanstown Village and Castleview. Tallanstown School will also be affected by these works. Following the completion of these works property owners should run their tap until the water is clear.
Irish Water, in partnership with Louth County Council has already carried out works at the plant which made it possible for the Boil Water Notice to be lifted for the majority of customers impacted.
The Boil Water Notice remains in place for approximately 600 customers in Tallanstown village.
