€118m Dublin water pipe relaying begins
Monday, 7 April 2008 15:22

Dublin City Council has begun work in a number of areas to replace old and leaking water pipes with new, heavy duty polyethylene ones.

The project is part of the €118 million programme, Dublin Regional Watermains Rehabilitation project, which aims to replace approximately 280km of old cast-iron water mains throughout Dublin.

Works will start in the Anglesea Road and Pembroke Road areas today and in the Irishtown, Mespil Road and Kilmainham areas in the coming months.

All customers affected by these works have been informed through leaflet drops and in some cases home visits.

A number of householders and businesses in these areas will experience water shut offs for short periods of time and a notification will be delivered to anyone affected 48-hours in advance of the shut off.

Road signage will also be in place in advance of works starting on particular roads to advise motorists of any temporary restrictions.

For further information and regular updates people are advised to call lo-call 1890 88 24 10 (Monday - Friday 9am-5pm), or visit watermainsrehab.ie
