New improved water supply for Casla

Working in partnership with Galway County Council, Irish Water is progressing with the delivery of a significant upgrade to the water supply in Doire Né, Casla. The delivery of this project will help to provide a safer and more secure water supply for local customers while also supporting future growth.

Works will involve the replacement of over 200m of old damaged water mains along the R343 between Casla and the Leitir Móir junction to provide a secure, safe and robust water supply. The project, which is being carried out by Farrans Construction under Irish Water’s national Leakage Reduction Programme, is scheduled to begin this week and is expected to be completed by June.

To facilitate the safe delivery of these works, some traffic management may be necessary to include a stop/go system, however, local and emergency access will be maintained. Irish Water and Galway County Council understand that this type of work may be inconvenient and work crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works may cause.

Gerry O’Donnell, Water Network Programme Lead with Irish Water, said: “These works are part of a significant investment by Irish Water to safeguard the water supply across Galway and we are delighted to progress this important project in Casla. The new water mains will improve the reliability of water supply for the local community. Irish Water is committed to providing a safe, secure and sustainable source of drinking water for our customers and this important project will have significant long-term benefits for the area.”

Irish Water and Galway County Council said they will make every effort to maintain normal supply to our customers throughout the delivery of these vital works.

Some short-term water interruptions may be necessary, however, the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours’ notice prior to any planned interruptions.
