Water works at Quigley's Point
continue
08.10.19
IRISH Water, working in
partnership with Donegal County Council, is
replacing approximately 5km of ageing water mains at
Three Trees, Quigley's Point and Cabry areas of
Inishowen. The route of the watermain runs along the
R238 regional road and L-1951-1 local road via
Quigleys Point village and will also extend into
side roads to facilitate connections to existing
watermains.
Removing the existing old cast iron from the public
water network and replacing them with new plastic
pipes will reduce the risk of contamination.
Replacing the ageing water mains and service
connections will reduce the instances of bursts and
water outages and will ensure a reliable supply of
water to residents and local businesses in the area. |

Irish Water is replacing
approximately 5km of ageing water mains at Three
Trees, Quigley's Point and Cabry areas of Inishowen. |
The works are currently
being carried out by ShareRidge Limited on behalf of
Irish Water. It is expected that initial section of
pipe installation and temporary reinstatement works
to Quigley’s Point will last for approximately nine
weeks with works from Quigley’s point towards
Redcastle to follow on from this for approximately
eight weeks.
Areas of work will be limited to short sections to
minimise impact on residents. The works may involve
some short-term water shut offs and the project team
will ensure that those affected are given a minimum
of 48 hours notice prior to any planned water shut
offs.
Traffic management will be in place during this
time. The contractor will be monitoring traffic
during peak times in the morning and evening and
will switch to a manned stop/go control should there
be an unacceptable build up of vehicles. |
