Irish Water customers in Wicklow’s Barndarrig and Roundwood will be happy to learn that works have been completed on two significant water mains upgrade projects.
Irish Water, working in partnership with Wicklow County Council, have completed the construction of more than 3km of new water mains and ancillary works linking Barndarrig to Redcross Water Treatment Plant.
In Roundwood, a further 4km of new water mains was constructed along the R764 to Vartry Water Treatment Plant providing both communities with a safer and more secure water supply.
In addition, Irish Water took the opportunity to upgrade the local wastewater network, which involved the construction of almost 2.5km of new sewer pipeline from Barndarrig to Redcross.
A sewer network that is fit for purpose is essential in order to support business and social development in the community.
These works will support existing and future growth and development while also improving the overall performance of the sewer network and helping to safeguard the environment.
