Residents of Aglish, Glencairn and Monaman can now benefit from a more reliable and secure water supply.
Irish Water invested €1.2million in the scheme which involved the installation of 11km of new water main and the decommissioning of four older water treatment plants in conjunction with a €60,000 upgrade of the Aglish Water Treatment Plant.

The construction works got underway in March 2017 with all three sections now complete.
David Sharry, Capital Programmes Regional Lead with Irish Water said: "The benefits of these upgrade works can already be seen in Aglish, Glencairn and Monaman. Reducing the number of water treatment plants serving the area has resulted in improved drinking water quality, reduced water supply disruptions and has provided greater operational efficiencies.
"Work is also starting this month on a €750,000 upgrade of the water supply network in the Rathgormack area. This will see the installation of 9.5km of new water main and the upgrade of the Rathgormack water treatment plant as well as the decommissioning of five older water treatment plants in the area, which will lead to a considerably improved water supply for residents in the Rathgormack, Monadiha, Clonea Power and Whitestown areas."
