Essential upgrade works seeking to amend structural issues causing high levels of leakage and supply disruption at the Drumroe Reservoir are currently progressing well, Uisce Éireann has announced.

The works, as part of the Burncourt Water Supply Scheme, together with recent improvements carried out on the local network, are being delivered to provide a more secure water supply for homes and businesses in Drumroe, Cullenagh, Lisfunshion, Carriganroe, Carrigmore, Toormore, Kilnamona, Cooladerry, Newcastle, Ballyporeen, Gorteeshal, Kilcarroon, Killeatin and the surrounding areas.

Uisce Éireann's Pierce Faherty said: "Uisce Éireann is committed to ongoing investment in the water infrastructure supplying the Burncourt Water Supply Scheme. These essential works will ensure that the people of Drumroe and the surrounding areas will have a more secure, resilient water supply."

The Drumroe Reservoir is currently out of service to facilitate the upgrade works, meaning customers normally supplied by the reservoir are being supplied directly from the Burncourt Water Treatment Plant. The upgrades are due to be completed by late September.
