Uisce Éireann is getting ready to start work on a major water main upgrade in Lismore to improve reliability of water supply in the town.
Customers in Lismore are set to benefit from further investment to upgrade the aged water mains. The upgrade is set to commence in early November, replacing almost 3km of ageing water mains along Deerpark Road and Lismore Bridge.
Dave Murphy, Portfolio Manager at Uisce Éireann, said:
“These works demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing a more resilient and reliable water supply for homes and businesses in Lismore. By replacing ageing mains, we are reducing leakage and strengthening the network now and into the future. We appreciate the continued support and patience of the local community as these critical works progress.”
The project will be delivered by Shareridge on behalf of Uisce Éireann and is expected to be completed early 2026.
Earlier this year, Uisce Éireann’s Leakage Reduction Programme arrived in Lismore, delivering targeted improvements, including the identification and repair of leaks on the water network in the town, including on the customer-side and key improvements to enhance underground flow control. The works reduced leakage in the area, saving thousands of litres per day and improving the reliability of water supply to customers.
This project to replace almost 3km of water main is also being delivered as part of Uisce Éireann’s Leakage Reduction Programme which continues to deliver significant benefits to communities across Ireland, including improved water quality, provision of a more resilient and sustainable water supply for customers, and considerable water savings.
