Campile celebrates a more reliable water supply

By Dan Walsh

Families and businesses in Campile can expect a stronger, more reliable water supply following Uisce Éireann’s completion of major upgrades to the local network.

As part of the project, Uisce Éireann replaced more than 1.85 km of ageing water mains with modern, durable pipes.

The ageing pipes were prone to bursts and leaks, disrupting supply and wasting precious treated drinking water.

Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage James Browne TD welcomed news of the completed works. “This is critical news for the people of Campile who will benefit from a more reliable water supply through these upgrades to the pipe network. I want to see more of this. We know that having a reliable water supply is fundamental to family and community life.”

Uisce Éireann’s Dave Murphy is delighted to have delivered another project for customers in Wexford. “This essential work is part of a significant investment by Uisce Éireann to improve the water network across the country, prioritising investment where it is needed most, enabling these communities to thrive.

“We would like to thank the local community for their cooperation and patience during these works, some remaining reinstatement works will be completed in the coming weeks,” said Mr. Murphy.   

Shareridge Ltd. delivered the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann. 

These improvements are all about supporting everyday life in the community, whether it’s putting the kettle on in the morning, running a local business, or keeping community services flowing smoothly with clean, reliable water. 

This project was delivered as part of Uisce Éireann’s national Leakage Reduction Programme. The upgraded water network now brings greater reliability to homes and businesses in Campile.
