Water improvement works in the pipeline for Dunshaughlin

Irish Water has announced an additional programme of improvement works for Dunshaughlin, which will see an additional 300m of old cast-iron water mains replaced with new modern pipes.

The works will form part of the water network upgrade project currently underway in the area to drive down leakage and improve water quality and supply for the local community. According to Irish Water, by the end of this month over 710m of old and problematic cast iron water mains along Main Street will have been replaced.

The additional works, which will take place from St Seachnalls National School to the Church of Saint Patrick and Seachnall, will start at the end of May and are expected to be completed by the end of June 2022.

Reiterating the importance of this major project for Dunshaughlin, Matt Thomson, Leakage Reduction Programme Regional Lead with Irish Water, said, “Replacing these old and damaged pipes which have a long history of bursting, causing outages and low pressure to homes and businesses, will help to deliver a much more reliable supply for generations to come."
