AGED water mains are to be replaced in Doonbeg.
As part of Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme, works to replace over 4km of water mains will commence in mid-November along the N67 from Doonbeg Village, onto L-2026 and end near Baltard National School. Works are expected to be completed by the end of March.
A more reliable water supply has been promises to Doonbeg residents who according to Uisce Éireann will now have the instances of bursts and water outages for customers in the area reduced. This project will also involve laying new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers’ property boundaries and connecting it to customers’ water supply.
Commenting on the project, Programme Manager at Uisce Éireann, Jack Cronin said, “This project represents a crucial investment in enhancing the water supply for Clare residents. By replacing this section of the watermain, we aim to offer the community a more dependable water service and minimise water loss due to leaks”.
Contractor Ward and Burke Construction Ltd will carry out the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
To deliver the works safely and efficiently, traffic management will be in place from November to March in the form of a stop and go system. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained. To minimise disruption, works will be limited to short sections. The works may require some short-term water interruptions, and the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to any planned interruptions.
