IRISH Water working in
partnership with Donegal County Council is investing
€12 million in the replacement and rehabilitation of
approximately 40 kilometres of old water mains
across the county. The works commenced in September
2018 and are progressing well. Once the works are
complete customers will benefit from a reliable
water supply reducing the instances of burst pipes
and the amount of clean drinking water being lost
through leaks. |

Irish Water is replacing
approximately 5km of ageing water mains at Three
Trees, Quigley's Point and Cabry areas of Inishowen. |
To date a total of
approximately 36kms of new water mains have been
installed in Donegal and reinstatement works
completed include Three Trees in Inishowen (3.5km).
Works to replace approximately 6kms of ageing mains
in other areas of the county are ongoing. Works will
be completed at various stages throughout the first
quarter of 2020 including Quigley’s Point and Cabry
(1.5km).
Traffic management will be in operation during the
works and residents and businesses in the affected
areas will be notified ahead of the work commencing
and provided with contact details should they have
any questions.
Commenting on the works, Irish Water’s Capital
Programme Regional Lead John McElwaine said: “The
replacement and rehabilitation of approximately 40km
of old water mains across County Donegal is a major
step to ensuring a more reliable water supply is
delivered to local residents and businesses. We
thank the local community for their ongoing patience
during these essential works.” |
