Ward and Burke Ltd has been appointed by Irish Water to carry out water main improvement works in Kindlestown, Greystones.

The works will involve the decommissioning of over 1.5km of old and problematic back yard water mains. Almost 1km of new water mains will be constructed along the public road and new service connections will be installed from the new water main to each customer’s property. These works will ensure a more secure water supply and improved water quality for residents in Upper Grattan Park, Lower Grattan Park, Kindlestown Park and Beechbrook Park.

Short-term water shut-offs may be necessary, however Irish Water will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours' notice prior to any planned supply disruptions. To facilitate the safe delivery of the works, temporary road closures and traffic management will be in place and the local community will be notified in advance. Diversion routes will be clearly signposted and emergency and restricted local access will be maintained. The works are to begin on 07 September.

Joe Carroll, Irish Water's Regional Lead, commented: "We understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and we will ensure our work crews make every effort to minimise any disruption these works may cause. We would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while we carry out these necessary works to improve the water quality and supply in Kindlestown."
