Donabate set to benefit from Uisce Éireann’s water mains replacement works

Just to give you an update that work is now getting underway by Uisce Éireann’s with works to replace old and damaged water mains in New Road, Balcarrick, Donabate.

From next week, crews will be installing approximately 1.3km of new, modern pipes that will strengthen the local network and reduce disruption to homes and businesses. 

The existing pipes were prone to bursts and leaks, leading to supply interruptions and the loss of treated drinking water, a valuable resource we all depend on.  Once complete, the works will provide a more reliable water supply and reduce high levels of leakage.  

The section of works will take place along New Road from the junction with R126 to the junction with Corballis roundabout. The works will also involve laying new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers’ property boundaries and connecting it to the customers’ water supply.  

Works will begin from 23 March and are scheduled to be completed in early summer. Once completed customers in this area will enjoy an improved water supply with less disruption. GMC Utilities Ltd are contracted to carry out the work on behalf of Uisce Éireann.  

Measures are  in place to keep disruption to an absolute minimum but to protect the public and our crews, a traffic management system will be in place during the works. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.

Please let me know if you need any further information.
