Residents living in the Bird Avenue area have had their old water main replaced and a new 415 metre water main has been installed.
Irish Water also replaced 54 lead connections to customers' homes to ensure the residents will have access to lead free drinking water.
The project commenced in June and took two months to complete.

The new water mains will ensure that the security of the water supply to customers will be more reliable with fewer interruptions. It will also improve water pressure for customers as leakage on this section of the water main will be reduced.
Ivan Corcoran, East and Midlands Programmes Specialist, said: "The replacement of this ageing water mains will ensure that customers in the area will have a more reliable water supply. We also replaced 54 lead connections to customers' properties which is an important step to remove lead connections from the public network into private homes. We thank customers for their patience while we worked to complete the project."
