Waterford City and County Council have announced they are to install 20 new Pay and Display parking machines in Dungarvan.

The new machines will replace the old ones, and the upgrade will be carried out over several days from Monday, April 14.

They will accept both coin and secure debit/credit card payments and will also display clear tariff information and helpful on-screen messages.

Each machine will also be equipped with vehicle registration entry to facilitate free parking, where required, for customers.

A new maintenance will ensure ongoing support and a dedicated team will be responsible for keeping the machines in working order.

Waterford City and County Council traffic wardens will be available throughout the installation period to assist members of the public and answer any queries.

The contactless pay option is also available through the online parking app www.waterfordeparking.ie.

The eParking app is free to download and can be used for either a one-off parking payment or an account can be set up.  

The Waterford eParking service is in operation at Waterford City and County Council-owned car parks and on-street parking spots.    

Waterford City and County Council say they appreciate the public’s patience during this short installation period in Dungarvan.

Ongoing issues with the machines in Dungarvan has been the topic of discussion at the Dungarvan-Lismore District Council over the past few months.
