IRISH Water has resumed work today to upgrade and replace the drinking water mains and wastewater network in several locations in Letterkenny. The work is being carried out in partnership with Donegal County Council and the utility company said these projects will support the economic and social development of the town by improving the security of the water supply and reducing the risk of sewer flooding.
The works being undertaken to the wastewater network will reduce the risk of sewer flooding in Letterkenny and are being undertaken in phases. The project will recommence on Monday May 25 at College Road/New Road junction from 7am to 6.30pm daily. Local traffic management will be in place for the duration of the works.
The drinking water mains replacement works, which will improve the security of water supply to Letterkenny, are being undertaken in phases and will also recommence on Monday May 25 on the N13 between Veagh and Manor Roundabout. Two-way traffic will be maintained at all times for the duration of the works.
An Irish Water spokesperson said: “Irish Water would like to assure customers that we are working at this time with our local authority partners, contractors and others to safeguard the health and well-being of staff and the public and to ensure the continuity of drinking water and wastewater services. Irish Water would like to remind people to follow the HSE COVID-19 advice and ensure frequent handwashing.”
