Oola Water Network Strengthened As Upgrade Works Complete

Construction News Image

Uisce Éireann has completed works in Oola, replacing 4.8km of ageing water mains to reduce leaks and bursts and deliver a more dependable supply for households and businesses.

The project swaps vulnerable older pipes for modern, more durable infrastructure designed to curb leakage, cut the risk of bursts and reinforce the local network for the long term.

Previously, frequent leaks and bursts on the ageing mains led to service interruptions and wasted treated drinking water. The upgraded system is intended to provide greater reliability for customers across Oola for years ahead.

Brian McCarthy, Uisce Éireann's Programme Manager, said: "These works are an important part of delivering a water service built to last. By replacing ageing pipes with modern, resilient infrastructure, we're improving water services today while strengthening resilience for the future.

"Our teams work with great care and experience to reduce the risk of supply interruptions for customers during works and we're grateful to the local community for their patience and support throughout these essential upgrades. This investment is rooted in care for the people we serve."
