Construction News Image

Residents and businesses in Letterkenny are invited to an information evening on Wednesday, 18 November, to learn about planned investment in the town's water network.

The event will run from 5pm to 8pm at Letterkenny Community Centre, where visitors can meet the project team, see the plans and ask questions.

Uisce Éireann plans to install approximately 1km of new water main along Speers Lane and Main Street under its Accelerated Growth Programme. The additional network capacity is intended to support new housing and sustainable growth in the town.

Work is due to begin in January 2027 and finish in autumn 2027. It will take place at night to limit disruption, with temporary overnight road closures along sections of the route.

Uisce Éireann Programme Manager Patricia Lowry said: "Letterkenny continues to grow, and having the right water infrastructure in place is essential to supporting that growth. This investment will provide additional capacity in the network to help support new housing and future development in the town.

"Before works begin, we want to give the local community an opportunity to meet the project team, find out more about what is planned and ask any questions they may have. We would encourage anyone interested in the project to come along to Letterkenny Community Centre on 18 November between 5pm and 8pm to meet the team."
