Work Complete To Replace Over 3km Of Old Water Mains In South Roscommon

Uisce Éireann has completed work to replace over 3km of aged water mains in South Roscommon.

The work which took place along the Rooskagh Ardkeenan Road was to blame for leakage.

The new pipework has not only put a stop to the loss of treated drinking water, but it has given locals a more sustainable and reliable water supply for generations to come.


Uisce Éireann’s Enda Mac Namara thanked the community for their support while works, which were carried out under the National Leakage Reduction Programme, were ongoing in the second half of last year.

Some final reinstatement works remain outstanding and will be completed in spring when the weather allows.

The Roscommon project forms part of Uisce Eireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme and will help us achieve our 2030 goal of a national leakage rate of 25%. The National Leakage Reduction team has made great strides since 2018 when the leakage rate stood at 46%.
