Farrans To Reduce Water Leakage In Letterkenny

Farrans Construction is set to deliver important works on behalf of Uisce Éireann to reduce the number of bursts in Letterkenny, County Donegal.

Close to 400m of old water mains will be replaced at The Grange by autumn this year as part of the utility company's National Leakage Reduction Programme. 

These works will give local homes and businesses more confidence in their supply through reducing leakage along this section of mains.
