Works to replace water mains in Galway will give residents in the Ballybrit area an improved water supply with less disruption due to bursts and leakage.
Working with Galway City Council, Uisce Éireann is carrying out works to deliver key water infrastructure for essential housing in Ardaun.
The works, which will likely lead to some short-term water outages, are being carried out in two phases, with the first phase of works currently taking place.
This involves the replacement of around 320m of water mains in lands along the Old Ballybrit Road.
The second phases of works will involve the replacement of approximately 330m of water mains along Monivea Road. These works are scheduled to begin before the end of this year.
Customers will be given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to any planned water interruptions.
Uisce Éireann said that they understand that this type of work can be inconvenient, and that crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption caused by the works. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.
When completed, Uisce Éireann said the project will significantly increase the capacity of the water network and provide for the delivery of future housing developments in the local area.
The works are being carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Farrans Construction and are on schedule to be completed early next year.
