Uisce Éireann is progressing on its multi-million investment to strengthen and safeguard Clonmel’s water supply.

Critical upgrade works at the Monroe Water Treatment Plant continue to progress while over 13km of the planned 15km new water main installation have been completed.

The project will deliver significant improvements to the town’s drinking-water infrastructure and ensure that homes and businesses in Clonmel and the surrounding areas benefit from a safer, more reliable, and resilient supply.

To facilitate connections of the newly installed water mains starting tomorrow there will be a planned interruption for the next two days to the water supply which may impact customers in areas of Clonmel.

The works at Monroe Water Treatment Plant include a full upgrade of the existing treatment facilities providing the capacity required to enable the rationalisation of the Poulavangoue Water Treatment Plant. Enhancements will also be made to the Rathronan Pump Station, which will connect the Monroe supply to the Clonmel North Reservoir, providing additional resilience to the Poulavanogue network.

Once complete, customers currently served by the Poulavanogue Water Treatment Plant will be transferred to the upgraded Monroe supply.
