Spring will bring Monaghan Town a more stable water supply

Uisce Éireann crews will be arriving in Monaghan Town this week and bringing with them the promise of a more reliable water supply by spring 2025.

More than 700 metres of old cast iron water mains in Tully Estate will be replaced between now and the middle of next year as part of Uisce Éireann’s National Leakage Reduction Programme.

These works will not only give local homes and businesses more confidence in their supply, but the new pipework will put an end to leakage of treated water into the ground.

Uisce Éireann’s Patricia Lowry is looking forward to delivering the project for customers in Monaghan Town.

“This work will bring a range of benefits for our customers in the area including reliability of supply and improved water quality. It will also 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%.”

Crews will be working in Tully Estate and on the junction of the R162 Glen Road. Areas of work will be limited to short sections to minimise impact and the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to any planned interruptions.

Traffic management will be in place and locals can be assured that access for local and emergency traffic will be maintained at all times.

The Uisce Éireann Customer Contact Centre, open 24/7 on freephone 1800 278 278, is available to answer any queries.
