"Irish Water is delighted to have completed these projects for the people of Newbliss and Killyconnigan. Both projects will provide the local communities with a safe and reliable water supply while also reducing the high leakage levels and improving water quality. I’m sure this is welcome news to the local communities as they were previously impacted by unplanned outages when bursts occurred on the old water mains.

"We understand that the delivery of these important works to the underground water network caused disruption to the local communities and we would like to thank the people of Newbliss and Killyconnigan for their patience and cooperation while we completed these projects. Both projects were completed by Farrans Construction Limited and we would like to thank them for their diligence throughout."
