Work is due to begin shortly on the replacement of old Inverin water mains prone to leaks, with some traffic disruption expected in the coming weeks.
Uisce Eireann is replacing approximately 1.3km of old water mains in Baile na mBrabach, Inverin which are prone to frequent bursts and leaks.
The section of works will take place along the L52030 in Coill Rua Thiar, and will also involve laying new water service connections from the mains pipe to people’s houses.
These works are due to start in the coming days and are scheduled to be completed by Q2 this year.
Commenting on the project, Enda Mac Namara of Uisce Éireann said, “To facilitate the safe delivery of the project and to minimise the impact on the community, areas of work will be limited to short sections.”
“Traffic management will be in place and local access will be accommodated in the morning and evenings. Emergency traffic will always be maintained.”
“We would like to thank customers in advance for their cooperation and patience while we complete these works.”
Farrans Construction are contracted to carry out the work on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
Enda added, “This essential work is part of a significant investment by Uisce Éireann to improve the water network across the country, prioritising investment where it is needed most, enabling these communities to thrive.”
