The roadside memorial has stood since the 1960s and refers to the flooding of Capel Celyn village, near Bala, to provide water for Liverpool in 1965.
The words mean 'Remember Tryweryn' in English and the wall has been vandalised on several occasions over the years.
Last year in February, graffiti was painted over the wall with the word "Elvis", before the wall was damaged again in April.
That vandalism sparked dozens of tributes to the mural being painted across Wales.
