Civil engineering company ShareRidge is to begin work to replace 1.7km of old water mains in Killaloe and Bridgetown, Co Clare.

High density polyethylene (plastic) pipes will be installed by the company to provide a more secure, reliable and efficient water supply to customers. In addition, the project includes laying new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers' property boundaries and connecting them to the customers' water supply.
