A programme of upgrades to the water infrastructure on the west side of Galway City is continuing, with the next phase of work beginning on Monday.
Uisce Éireann is preparing to replace approximately 300 metres of ageing cast iron mains along St Mary’s Avenue (L-5013-0) with new, modern pipes.
This work will commence on Monday, March 9, after the current work on Dominick Street is completed by the end of this week.
Enda Mac Namara, Uisce Éireann Programme Manager, highlighted the benefits that the new mains will provide.
“This mains upgrade will improve water quality and provide a more reliable supply for residents of St Mary’s Avenue and surrounding areas.”
“The project will also help us work toward our aim of driving down leakage on the network and protecting our water supplies,” said Enda.
“With works on Dominick Street Upper now drawing to a close, we wish to thank residents and businesses in the area for their cooperation and understanding.”
“We acknowledge that road closures can be disruptive, and we thank impacted road users for their support while these essential infrastructure upgrades were safely delivered.”
In order to ensure the safety of crews, road users and the general public, traffic management in the form of a road closure will be required at St Mary’s Avenue.
Diversions will be in place during this period. Local and emergency services access will be accommodated throughout the project and the road will reopen for the Easter weekend.
