Significant progress has been made on the Clonmel Water Supply Upgrade, with over 4km of a planned 15km water main now installed along the R689 Fethard Road.

The project is part of a major investment to modernise and safeguard water infrastructure in the Clonmel area.

In addition to the works on Fethard Road, pipe-laying is also ongoing along Cashel Road, carried out in coordination with the Active Travel Scheme to help minimise disruption to local residents and road users.

The project includes critical upgrades to water infrastructure, including enhancements to Monroe Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and improvements at the Rathronan Pump Station. These upgrades will link the Monroe supply with the Clonmel North reservoir and the Poulavanogue network—strengthening the overall resilience of the water system and improving supply quality for residents.

The development will also address long-standing water quality issues for customers on the Poulavanogue supply, enabling that network to be removed from the EPA’s Remedial Action List.

Separate works are also underway at the Glenary Water Treatment Plant. These include the installation of 1.3km of new water main, connecting the plant to the Glenary reservoir and further enhancing the town's water supply resilience.

The next phase of the project is scheduled to progress over the summer months, with works to take place along the L-3279 from Rathronan Cross to Clashaniska, as well as on Thomas Street and Dillon Street in Clonmel.

A community information evening has been scheduled to update residents on the upcoming works. It will be held on Monday, 07 April, at the Talbot Hotel, Clonmel, between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

The Clonmel Water Supply Upgrade is being delivered by Shareridge on behalf of Uisce Éireann, with full completion expected by 2026.
