Watermain upgrades in Portlaw get underway

Uisce Éireann are commencing works to replace old and damaged water mains in Portlaw.

From Darrigal to Poldrew Bridge, crews will be installing 900 metres of new, modern pipes that will strengthen and provide resilience to the local network.

Works began in early August and will include the installation of a new watermain, providing a more reliable and efficient water supply, a spokesperson said.

The project is being delivered by Shareridge on behalf of Uisce Éireann, with completion expected by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, at Woodlands Estate in Portlaw, there is an ongoing dispute between residents, the water provider and the estate developer.
