Water network upgrade underway in Carrick area
Uisce Éireann is replacing almost 1km of ageing water mains.
A water network upgrade is underway in the Carrick-on-Shannon area.
Uisce Éireann is replacing almost 1km of ageing water mains from the Castlecara Road to Summerhill along the L3412, and from the N4 Attifinlay roundabout to Castlecara Road roundabout.
These works, the company says, will reduce bursts, improve water quality, and strengthen the resilience of the water network for local homes and businesses.
The project also involves laying new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers’ property boundaries and connecting it to the customers’ water supply.
Patricia Lowry, Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, said: “These essential upgrades will bring lasting benefits to customers by reducing leakage, improving water quality, and strengthening resilience for the future. We appreciate the community’s cooperation as we deliver these important works over the coming months.” Farrans Construction will deliver these works on behalf of Uisce Éireann with the project expected to be complete this summer.
To facilitate the water network upgrades traffic lights will be in place as well as nighttime works on the N4.
