Irish Water and Wicklow County Council are working together to deliver the works as part of the utility's national Leakage Reduction Programme.
Essential water main upgrade works are scheduled to take place on Wednesday 16 November at 10pm until Thursday 17 November at 5.30am. To reduce the impact on customers, the works are taking place during night-time hours and critical water users have been engaged with directly.
During these works, customers in Greystones and surrounding areas may experience intermittent interruptions to their water supply to include low pressure and/or outages. These works will enable Irish Water to better manage water pressure issues and also reduce the frequency of bursts in the town.

Traffic management in the form of a stop and go system will be in place on Kindlestown Lower Road, Greystones throughout the short duration of these works.
Speaking about the works, Joe Carroll, Regional Delivery Lead at Irish Water said: "Irish Water understands that this type of work can be inconvenient and working in partnership with Wicklow County Council, we will make every effort to minimise the disruption that these necessary works may cause.
"Customers may experience some temporary discolouration of water following the works and occasionally issues such as internal airlocks may arise. For advice on clearing discoloration and airlocks, visit www.water.ie/water-supply/supply-issues/following-an-outage."
The works are being carried out by Ward & Burke Construction Ltd on behalf of Irish Water.
