Shareridge is currently progressing works on behalf of Uisce Éireann to replace more than 2.1km of ageing water mains with new modern pipes in Tullow, County Carlow.

These works are being carried out under the utility company's national Leakage Reduction Programme and will eliminate pipes which have been prone to bursts and high levels of leakage in the area.

These upgrades will significantly reduce water loss, improve pressure and enhance the overall resilience of the water network serving homes and businesses in the area. 

Thus far, 850 metres of mains have been replaced as Uisce Éireann has completed all main laying works on N81 - Bridge Street, Market Square and Church St. Public side connection works on these streets is still ongoing and will continue until mid-summer.

Upgrades on Upper Mill Street are now complete, with the old mains pipe scheduled for decommissioning shortly.  

Work on Old Chapel Lane is nearing completion, with crews set to move to Bishop Street, which will be closed until Friday, June 20.

Speaking about the works, Dave Murphy, Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, said: "We are committed to delivering a more secure and reliable water supply to communities across Ireland. These ongoing works in Tullow Town are part of that effort, ensuring fewer disruptions, improved water quality, and a network that’s fit for the future.

"We're delighted with the progress made on this project and would like to thank the people of Tullow for their continued patience and support as these essential works continue. The project remains on track to be completed by September 2025."
