Ward and Burke Construction Ltd is delivering works on behalf of Uisce Éireann to improve the water network in County Clare.

The works will take place along the L70361 O'Brien's Bridge, Killaloe Road, Ardnataggle, and involve the replacement of over one kilometre of aged water mains prone to bursts as part of Uisce Éireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme. The project is expected to be complete in late November 2025.

Commenting on the works, Jack Cronin, Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, said: "Replacing these old and damaged pipes will significantly lower the instances of bursts and outages on the network, eliminate existing leaks and reduce the amount of clean water lost into the ground. The works will also improve the operation of the network by reducing the need for frequent repairs to aged watermains, resulting in a positive impact on leakage and the daily lives of residents. We would like to thank the local community for their support and patience in advance as we carry out these essential works."

Traffic management will be in place in the form of a road closure until early November, followed by traffic lights, to safely deliver the project. A signed posted diversion route will be in place during the road closure. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.
