Uisce Éireann say that securing the water supply in Louth remains a top priority for them as the intensive campaign continues to drive down leakage and improve the water supply to homes and businesses.

 When work on the R166 road from Termonfeckin to Beaulieu is finished people in in North East Drogheda and Termonfeckin will see a huge improvement in their water supply 

Highlighting the importance of these upgrades, Matt Thomson, Infrastructure Delivery Programme Manager at Uisce Éireann said, “We are delighted to announce this major investment for the people of North Drogheda and Termonfeckin.

“Replacing these old and damaged water mains is a first step in tackling low water pressure, bursts, and leakage issues which have been affecting homes and businesses.”

To facilitate the safe delivery of the works, a stop / go traffic management system will be in place and areas of work will be limited to short sections to minimise the impact on commuters as much as possible. The works will also involve 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.

The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by GMC Utilities Group and are expected to be completed by the end of January 2024.
