Work is due to begin next month on a €3.2 million water infrastructure investment programme in Co Cork.
Around 17km of water mains will be upgraded on the Cork Countywide Advance Priority Water Mains Rehabilitation Project.
Works include replacing old water mains with new polyethylene and ductile iron water mains.
The project is due to be completed in 2017.
Irish Water’s Regional Information Officer, Aisling Buckley, said: "These vital works will improve water supply and reduce leakage in a number of areas throughout Cork; in Bantry, Ballylickey, Coachford, East Ferry, Newtownshandrum and Crookstown.
"Many of these areas are serviced by old water mains that are in poor condition and their replacement will result in fewer burst mains, less leaks, interruptions to supply and an overall improvement in the water quality."
