Water Works

Update 1322 hours. Sorry should have included the fact that todays interruption to the water supply was caused by a  fracture in a main pipe. They have restored the water to the village and are working to restore to the higher areas and hope to complete by mid afternoon but no guarantees!

Some good news at last regarding the work needed to renew our antiquated and old water pipe network.

As many of you know we have had numerous and regular fractures of the main pipes over the past years and these are primarily due to the failure of old systems. The Town Hall has been in negotiations with Galasa regarding upgrading all these systems and originally a budget of €400,000 was agreed to do the work. To this has been added another sizeable figure to renew another part which had not been included in the original discussions.

The work to renovate these networks starts tomorrow but will take many weeks but should finally stop the many failures of the system.
