Work is continuing to deliver a significant upgrade to the water supply for customers in Barndarrig, Wicklow.
The project, which began in November 2021, involves the construction of over 3km of new water mains and ancillary works linking Barndarrig to Redcross Water Treatment Plant, replacing the local water supply and providing the community of Barndarrig with a safer and more secure water supply.
The project is progressing ahead of schedule with over 80% of the completed works already reinstated. Irish Water is delighted to confirm that following the successful delivery and efficiency of these works, the project completion date has been brought forward to 15 March 2022.
Joe Carroll, Water Network Programme Lead with Irish Water, said: "Irish Water is undertaking this important project to provide a safer and more secure water supply for the community of Barndarrig. Works are progressing quickly and ahead of schedule and involve the construction and commissioning of over 3km of new water mains linking Barndarrig to Redcross Water Treatment Plant.
"Over 50% of the new pipeline has already been installed and we are progressing quickly through the final phase of the project. We would like to thank Ward and Burke for their hard work and also the local community for their patience while we work to complete this vital project."
