Athsholáthar an phríomhlíonra uisce i gCasla/ Casla Water Mains Replacement

Tá Uisce Éireann, i gcomhpháirtíocht le Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe, ag athsholáthar an phríomhlíonra uisce damáiste atá ag dul in aois i nDoire Né, Casla, Co. na Gaillimhe chun soláthar uisce níos iontaofa a sholáthar agus chun ardleibhéil ligin a laghdú. 

Uisce Éireann, in partnership with Galway County Council, has replaced ageing, problematic water mains in Doire Né, Cashla, Co. Galway to provide a more reliable water supply and reduce high levels of leakage. 

Áirítear leis na hoibreacha os cionn 200 méadar de shean-phríomhlíonra uisce lena bhfuil fadhbanna a athsholáthar agus píobáin nua chomhaimseartha a chur ina n-áit. Cuirfear tús i mí Aibreáin 2022 leis an gclár chun an príomhlíonra uisce a athsholáthar ag Doire Né, Casla, Co. na Gaillimhe. Tá na hoibreacha sin á gcur chun feidhme mar chuid de Chlár Laghdaithe Sceite Náisiúnta Uisce Éireann.

Déanfar an chuid de na hoibreacha ó Acomhal Chasla go Acomhal Leitir Móir, feadh an R343.

Áireofar leis na hoibreacha freisin naisc seirbhíse uisce nua a leagan síos ón bpríomhlíonra poiblí sa bhóthar chuig teorainneacha réadmhaoin na gcustaiméirí agus é a nascadh le soláthar uisce na gcustaiméirí. Nuair a bhíonn na naisc seirbhíse reatha ar thaobh an phobail déanta de luaidhe, athsholáthrófar iad sin mar chuid den obair feabhsúcháin sin.

Is é Farrans Construction Ltd a dhéanfaidh na hoibreacha thar ceann Uisce Éireann agus táthar ag súil go mbeidh siad críochnaithe i mí na Bealtaine 2022.

The works involved the replacement of over 200 metres of aged problematic water mains with new modern pipes. The programme to replace the water mains at Doire Né, Cashla, Co. Galway commenced in April 2022. These works were carried out as part of Uisce Éireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme.

The section of works took place from Cashla Junction to Leitir Móir Junction, along the R343.

The works also involved laying new water service connections from the public water main in the road to customers' property boundaries and connecting it to the customers' water supply. Where the existing service connections on the public side are lead these were replaced as part of this improvement work.

The works were carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Farrans Construction Ltd.

Áirítear na nithe a leanas le tairbhí na n-oibreacha laghdaithe sceite:

• Soláthar Uisce Iontaofa -Trí athsholáthar an phríomhlíonra uisce agus na naisc seirbhíse laghdófar na teagmhais de phíopaí pléasctha agus de bhristeacha sa soláthar uisce agus cinnteofar soláthar níos iontaofa uisce do chustaiméirí agus do ghnólachtaí áitiúla sa cheantar.
• Ligin Laghdaithe - Trí athsholáthar an phríomhlíonra uisce agus na naisc seirbhíse cuirfear deireadh leis na ligin atá ann agus laghdófar méid an uisce óil a chailltear sa talamh.
• Oibriú Feabhsaithe agus Cothabháil Fheabhsaithe - Soláthrófar coigilteas costais leis na hoibreacha sin trí oibriú feabhsaithe an líonra uisce óna dteastóidh cothabháil níos lú sa todhchaí.

The benefits of the leakage reduction works include:

• A Reliable Water Supply - Replacement of water mains and service connections will reduce the instances of bursts and water outages and will ensure a reliable supply of water to customers and local businesses in the area.
• Reduced Leaks - Replacement of water mains and service connections will eliminate existing leaks and reduce the amount of clean drinking water lost into the ground.
• Improved Operation and Maintenance - These works will deliver cost savings by providing improved water network operation that will require less maintenance in the future.

Déanfar limistéir na hoibre a theorannú do chodanna gairide d'fhonn an iarmhairt ar chustaiméirí a íoslaghdú. D'fhéadfadh bainistíocht tráchta a bheith i bhfeidhm le linn na tréimhse sin. Coinneofar an rochtain áitiúil agus éigeandála i gcónaí.

D'fhéadfadh roinnt bristeacha sa soláthar uisce a bheith ann le haghaidh tréimhsí gairide agus cinnteoidh an fhoireann tionscadail go dtabharfar fógra 48 n-uaire ar a laghad do chustaiméirí roimh aon bhristeacha sa soláthar uisce atá beartaithe.

Tuigimid go bhféadfadh an cineál oibre seo a bheith mí-oiriúnach agus déanfaidh na buíonta oibreacha a seacht ndícheall chun aon chur isteach mar thoradh ar na hoibreacha riachtanacha sin a íoslaghdú.

Areas of work will be limited to short sections to minimise impact on customers. Traffic management may be in place during this time. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.

The works may involve some short-term water interruptions and the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours' notice prior to any planned water interruptions.

We understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and works crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works cause.
