Laois town sees total revamp of water supply network
Irish ater completes network upgrades in Durrow
A project of water network upgrades has recently been completed in a Laois town, which promises to significantly improve local water supplies.
Uisce Éireann / Irish Water has confirmed the completion of essential water network upgrades on the Derry Road, Durrow, strengthening the security and reliability of the local drinking water supply.
This mammoth project saw the replacement of over 1km of aging waterpipes in the area, swapped out for new, modern pipes.
Delivered by Shareridge under Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme, these upgrades aim to improve the resilience of the network, reduce the risk of supply interruptions, and minimise the amount of clean water lost through leaks.
Dave Murphy, Portfolio Manager at Uisce Éireann, said the completion of the works marks an important milestone for the community in Durrow.
“These upgrades will provide customers with a more secure and reliable water supply by eliminating existing leaks and strengthening the performance of the network,” Mr Murphy said.
“We would like to thank the local community for their patience and support as we carried out these essential works,” he finished.
The project initially began in mid-January of this year.
