Water Mains To Be Renewed In Castleblayney

A section of water mains is to be renewed in Castleblayney, Co Monaghan, as part of Irish Water's national Leakage Reduction Programme.

Farrans will replace 1,190 metres of old mains on Main Street with heavy plastic pipes, starting next week.

It is being delivered on behalf of Irish Water and Monaghan County Council.


Leakage Reduction Programme Regional Lead Declan Cawley said: "The works will involve the decommissioning and replacement of water mains on Main Street, Castleblayney, along both sides of the street and including a loop around the court house within Castleblayney Town centre.   

"The works will also involve laying over 150 new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers' property boundaries and connecting them to the customer's water supply."

Traffic management will be in place to facilitate these essential works.

The project is expected to be completed in June 2019.
