Residents in the County Meath village of Stamullen are set to benefit from a new and improved water supply.

Irish Water and Meath County Council completed work on major upgrades to the local water network, future proofing the area for new and existing residential and commercial development.

Works involved the installation of approximately 1.2 kilometres of new modern mains from Cock Hill Road to Silverstream Close. The new main is feeding water into Stadalt pumping station, helping to relieve supply issues on the current network which were impacting homes and businesses.
