RESIDENTS of Manorcunningham and the surrounding areas are breathing a sigh of relief as a date has been set to remedy repeated water outages.
Households in Manor, Raymoghy and Rossbracken have been plagued with persistent water outages, but this spell looks set to end after a letter was issued to residents in recent days detailing road closure times and a confirmed date for the replacement of new watermains.
In a letter sent in recent days, Uisce Éireann confirmed that works are to commence on January 29.
The development has been welcomed by Fianna Fáil Councillor Donal ‘Mandy’ Kelly, who has been a regular campaigner for the works.
He said that Errirty’s Brae, known locally as Boyle’s Brae, has been added to the schedule of works for the installation of new water infrastructure.
“The works will commence at Erritys Brea down to McElhinneys shop right down to the N14 and then cross the N14 right over Rossbracken to near Cassidys quarries,” Councillor Kelly said.
“I’m delighted for the residents in these areas that this long ongoing issue is now going to be resolved once and for all.”
