New water mains at Springmount

By Dan Walsh

Uisce Éireann is carrying out leakage reduction works in Springmount, Gorey, to provide a more reliable water supply and reduce high levels of leakage. 

The section of works will take place on the Ballyminaun Road between Springmount Garden Centre on the R741 to Ballyminaun Hill on the L1028.

The works involve the replacement of over 1.5 km of old and damaged water mains with new modern pipes.

The works will also involve 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.

The programme to replace the water mains in Springmount will commence in late July. These works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme.

The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge Ltd. and are expected to be completed by the end of September.
