Contractors Ward & Burke have completed pipe laying works on the Sligo Water Mains and Sewer Rehabilitation project ahead of schedule.

The works, which were due to be completed by the end of March this year, represent a €6.8 million investment by Irish Water in Sligo and will ensure an improved supply to all customers by reducing leakage and bursts.

The project will also deliver financial savings over the medium and long term through reduced maintenance costs associated with the upgraded pipeline.

Between now and the end of March, minor works will be ongoing across the city and resurfacing works will begin mid-February to the end of March, weather dependant. These will take place on Wine Street (night works), Stephen Street (night works) and Fatima Avenue. Road closures will be in place for resurfacing works.

Sligo County Council along with the contractor will continue to liaise with An Garda Siochána to implement traffic management plans so as to minimise traffic disruption.
