Irish Water has ordered almost 60 new vans operating in Limerick.
The firm confirmed it is investing €1.3million to upgrade the fleet of water services vans to improve customer service.
A total of 59 new vans will come into service to replace the existing fleet of vehicles currently operating in the city and county.
The new fleet includes Peugeot, Opel and Ford vans and will enable Limerick City and County Council staff working on behalf of Irish Water to carry out their work in greater safety.
Ian O'Mahony, Irish Water's Operations Lead for Limerick, said: "We are delighted to be in a position to hand over this new fleet of vans to Limerick City and County Council. This investment in a modern, efficient fleet of vans will enable personnel to carry out their work in a much safer and more efficient manner, ultimately improving the service we offer to our customers.
"Having a safe, properly managed modern fleet will enable more effective inspection, servicing and maintenance of Irish Water's water and wastewater assets throughout Limerick. This fleet will also enable staff to respond to emergencies much quicker, in line with all regulatory requirements.
"This investment is in line with Irish Water's commitment to developing a systematic approach to the operation and maintenance of the water and wastewater networks in order to continue to deliver a quality service to all our customers."
