Work is moving forward on a major upgrade of the water main and wastewater networks in Bandon, Co Cork.

The €14 million Bandon Water Main and Sewer Network Project will see 10 kilometres of old water main replaced and the capacity of an existing trunk main increased. Additionally, 5km of sewers will be upgraded as part of this project.

These works will safeguard the town's water supply, increasing the capacity of the local sewer network to help alleviate sewer flooding and reduce discharges to the Bandon River.

Ward and Burke Construction Ltd is delivering the project on behalf of Irish Water.

• Bank Place will close for two weeks from 04-16 June
