Malin Head water
works

|
A major water network
upgrade is on the way for Malin Head, with Uisce Éireann
(Irish Water) set to strengthen the local supply. More
than 2.2 kilometres of ageing water mains in Keenagh and
Umgall will be replaced with new, high‑quality pipes to
support households and businesses across this Inishowen
community. |
 |
Works will get underway
this week, with crews carrying out the mains replacement
along the R242 and L1201, as well as the L1051 and
L1031. This will help reduce bursts and improve the
overall performance of the water network for homes and
businesses. As part of the works, new water service
connections will also be installed for customers along
the route.
Areas of work will be limited to short sections to
minimise the impact to local people. Traffic lights will
be in place along the route for the duration of the
works, followed by a planned road closure from 16 March
to 30 April, 2026. Local and emergency access will be
maintained at all times.
Farrans Construction will deliver the project on behalf
of Uisce Éireann and completion is expected by Autumn
2026. Short-term interruptions to supply may be required
and residents will be notified at least 48 hours in
advance. |
