A €22 million project to upgrade the water supply in Howth, Malahide and Balbriggan in County Dublin is taking shape.

Irish Water has launched the latest phase of the scheme, which will see work delivered in Howth, including a new 6km water main from Bayside to the existing Howth Reservoir (Drumgriffen). Further works will involve the upgrade of Corr Bridge pumping station, a new pumping station at Howth Reservoir and an additional disinfection facility at the reservoir.

John Cradock has commenced work on this stage of the project, with completion expected in late 2020.

Works will take place in the following locations; Howth Road; Moyclare Road; Burrows Road; Claremount Road; Balkill Road; Baldoyle Road; Station Road; Seagrange Park; Lauder Lane and Tramway Walking Trail.

Traffic management will be in place for the duration of the works to minimise any traffic disruption and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
