Continued investment will bring further water supply upgrades for Tipperary

Uisce Éireann is set to begin further upgrade works as part of ongoing investment in the Clonmel’s water infrastructure, which will improve water quality and resilience across the water network.

The upgrades, which will see over 1.4km of aged water mains in the town being replaced with new pipes, is being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme.

The works will improve water quality, while providing a more secure and reliable supply, with reduced leaks in the area.

Speaking about the upgrades, Programme Manager at Uisce Éireann, Dave Murphy commented on the benefits: “As well as an improvement in the quality of water coming from their taps, customers can look forward to a more reliable supply and fewer operational issues such as bursts and leaks on the network.

“These works will also help us to drive down levels of leakage on the network and to conserve our precious water resources. We wish to thank the local community in Clonmel for their patience and co-operation while these works are underway.”

The project is due to commence on Kickham Street, where night works will begin from Monday, 13 October. From there, works will progress to Upper Gladstone Street, Catherine Street, Morton Street, William Street, Cashel Street, Bolton Street and Mary Street over the coming months.
