Clonmany, situated in Ireland’s most northerly peninsula in County Donegal, is set to reap the rewards of Uisce Éireann’s leakage reduction programme as ageing water mains in Straid and Gaddyduff are set to get replaced this summer.
The works will help put a stop to bursts, outages and leakage in the area and give locals and visitors alike an improved confidence in the security of their water supply.
Uisce Éireann crews are scheduled to arrive in Straid and Gaddyduff in mid-July to begin work on replacing more than 790m of old water mains which are susceptible to regular bursts and high levels of leakage.
Uisce Éireann’s Networks Regional Lead Declan Cawley is looking forward to getting this important project underway.
“Uisce Éireann is working hard to prioritise the delivery of safe and secure water supply in the Inishowen area.
“It is great to finally announce that the works in Straid and Gaddyduff is going to commence in the coming weeks, which will reduce the risk of outages from bursts now and into the future. Fewer bursts and less leakage will ensure a stronger water supply for homes and businesses in this busy coastal community,” he said.
The essential works may involve some short-term water interruptions, but the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to any planned interruptions.
