Balbriggan water mains upgrade to reduce local leakage
Uisce Éireann has commenced a vital infrastructure project to replace over a kilometre of damaged water pipes along the Dublin Road in Balbriggan. The scheduled improvements will significantly minimise supply interruptions and enhance drinking water security for local households and businesses.
Uisce Éireann has launched a comprehensive pipeline replacement scheme in Balbriggan designed to secure a more dependable water network for local residents and commercial enterprises. The essential engineering initiative involves laying over one kilometre of modern piping along the R132 at Kilsough to curb ongoing supply failures and protect treated water resources.
Declan Healy of Uisce Éireann highlighted that the upgrades will deliver long-term resilience and bolster confidence in the local utility infrastructure. While acknowledging that construction activities may cause temporary inconvenience, the utility has confirmed that GMC Utilities Group will oversee the delivery of the project, which is scheduled for completion in early 2027.
To facilitate safe working conditions, a phased stop-go traffic management system will operate along the route, though local and emergency access will remain fully open.
