Water mains replacement works to improve the network in Spiddal are due to begin next week and continue into the summer.
Uisce Eireann is planning to replace approximately 355 metres of ageing water mains with new, modern pipes.
These upgrades are being carried out in response to high instances of bursts on the local network and to drive down high rates of leakage from the old pipework.
This work is due to begin next week and is expected to be completed by mid-summer.
Enda Mac Namara, Uisce Éireann Programme Manager, said that residents, business-owners and visitors to An Spidéal will all enjoy the benefits of these upgrade works.
These significant upgrades will provide a more reliable supply for our customers, while reducing the risk of operational disturbances on the network and helping us work toward our goal of reducing the volume of treated drinking water lost to underground leakage,” said Enda.
In order to carry out these mains upgrades safely, a local road closure will be required at Bothar Chuanna Thoir (the L-52013-0).
Traffic diversions will be in place for the duration of the road closure. However, local and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
