Plans have been confirmed to build on the successful water improvements delivered across County Monaghan over the past year.

Uisce Éireann has announced plans to deliver several projects across the county to provide a more reliable water supply, improve water quality to hundreds of homes and reduce high levels of leakage.

Most recently, Uisce Éireann working in partnership with Monaghan County Council, has replaced the old and damaged water mains along Market Square and Muckno Street in Castleblaney. These works will now provide a more safe and secure water supply for homes and businesses in the town, while reducing the high level of leakage and bursts in the area.

Uisce Éireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme Regional Lead, Declan Cawley said: "The importance of replacing such ageing and damaged water mains cannot be underestimated. The works will significantly reduce the instances of bursts, eliminate existing leaks and reduce the amount of clean drinking water lost to leakage.

"The new water mains and service connections will help conserve this precious resource and improve levels of services for homes and businesses in the area now and into the future.

"Residents in Castleblayney will have noticed an immediate improvement in their water supply as a result of the programme of works undertaken. We thank the locals for their patience and cooperation. We have made great progress, but we're not finished yet. Together with Monaghan County Council we will continue to look at ways to supply smarter and reduce leakage across the county."
