Shareridge has successfully completed upgrades to the Cashel water network in County Tipperary on behalf of Uisce Éireann.

The works, which took place between Cathal Brugha Street and Lacey Square, included replacing over 750 metres of aged cast iron water mains with new modern pipes. 

As a result, the reliability of the town's water supply will improve and high levels of leakage in the area will be reduced.  

Programme Manager, Dave Murphy, highlighted Uisce Éireann's ongoing commitment to improving water supply in Cashel and across Tipperary: "In addition to these works, we also recently replaced over 300 metres of water mains between the junction of Rock Lane and Moor Lane. Upgraded modern pipework now delivered for Cashel will bring a more robust and reliable water supply.

"I would like to thank the local community and elected representatives for their support and patience during the delivery of this essential project."

Meanwhile, Uisce Eireann's Infrastructure Delivery Director, Maria O'Dwyer, a native of Cashel, recognised the importance of continuing to invest in critical infrastructure: "I'm very proud to be playing a part in delivering critical infrastructure that will support Cashel as it continues to prosper and thrive.

"In addition to 7km of water main successfully replaced in 2024, more than 18km has been completed so far this year, with over 13km of water main currently under construction and almost 17.5km to be upgraded over the coming months across Tipperary.

"We are also making progress with major upgrades to water infrastructure in Clonmel, Goatenbridge and Glenbeha, while from a wastewater point of view, upgrade works are currently underway at the Fethard and Newport Wastewater Treatment Plants."

Leakage reduction works taking place this year include 7.9km of water mains that are currently being replaced between Ballinard and Killenaule, 6.2km of water mains being replaced between Thomastown and Ballymacaddy, 1.7km of water mains being replaced in Carrick-on-Suir, while a further 5.6km of water main is set to be replaced between Ballypatrick and Kylanoreashy.
