A new water main in North Quay, Drogheda, has been connected.

The €500,000 project involved the replacement of 300 metres of aging water mains along the North Quay, which will improve the security of the water supply for residents in North East Drogheda, Baltry and Termonfeckin.

MEIC Ltd carried out the work on behalf of Irish Water.

Final reinstatement work will be completed early next week and Irish Water is assisting Louth County Council to facilitate upgrades to the public lighting in the area.
