Water network improvement works are continuing to progress in the County Kerry town of Cahirciveen.

Irish Water and Kerry County Council will deploy a team to deliver the project, which includes the installation of a new pressure regulation valve.

Construction will commence on 11 July 2022 with works forming part of Irish Water's National Leakage Reduction Programme. 

The project, being carried out by Ward and Burke Limited on behalf of Irish Water, is expected to take one week to complete. Works will take place along Old Market Street from its junction with Main Street for approximately 15m.

Speaking about the works, Steven Blennerhassett from Irish Water said: "Installing a new pressure regulation valve will ensure a more reliable water supply for the people of Cahirciveen. 

"To complete these works in a safe and efficient manner, a road closure is required along Old Market Street from its junction with St. Joseph's Terrace to Main Street. Traffic Diversions will be signposted on approach and local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.

"The works may involve some short-term water outages and the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours' notice before any planned water outages

"Irish Water understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and works crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works cause as we continue to improve the water supply in Kerry and progress the National Leakage Reduction Programme."
