A series of water mains upgrades have reached completion in the County Louth village of Donore.

GMC Utilities Group Limited completed the works on behalf of Irish Water, improving supply for homes and businesses in the area.

Working alongside Louth County Council, the national utility replaced nearly 1km of old and problematic cast iron water mains along Donore Road in the Donore Industrial Estate with modern pipes, reducing the number of bursts and water outages impacting customers and providing them with a more safe and secure water supply.

Outlining the benefits of these works Matt Thomson, Leakage Reduction Programme Regional Lead with Irish Water, explained: "The importance of replacing aging watermains in a busy area like Donore cannot be underestimated. These works will ensure the provision of a safe and secure drinking water supply and will also reduce the amount of clean drinking water lost through leakage. Reducing the level of leakage is hugely important for Donore. These vital upgrades will mean an improved water supply to homes and businesses now and into the future."

Matt added: "This project is part of a significant investment by Irish Water to upgrade the water network across Louth and we would like to thank customers for their continued cooperation and patience while we continue to upgrade and improve the water supply in County Louth."
