Customers in Donaghmore, Ballygarrett, can look forward to a more secure and reliable water supply as Uisce Éireann begins essential upgrade works in the area next week.
As part of its National Leakage Reduction Programme, Uisce Éireann has prioritised the replacement of over 1km of ageing water mains between Aloha and Skuna Hill in Donaghmore, Co Wexford.
This investment will provide a more secure and reliable water supply in the area and will also reduce leakage of treated water being lost into the ground.
Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Dave Murphy is looking forward to delivering the project for customers in the local communities. “This essential work is part of an investment by Uisce Éireann to improve the water network across County Wexford, prioritising investment where it is needed most. We would like to thank customers in Donaghmore in advance for their cooperation and patience while we complete these works.
These works will be delivered on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge, with completion expected by late Spring 2026.
HISTORY; Donaghmore is an early medieval (400-1000 AD) ecclesiastical site. The present ruins of the 18th or 19th century Church of Ireland parish church, dedicated to St. Patrick, is on the site of the older parish church.
