Irish Water, working in partnership with Tipperary County Council, is to replace 980m of old watermains in Carrick-On-Suir in an attempt to improve water quality for the town.
The work is scheduled to commence on Monday next as part of the company’s National Leakage Reduction Programme.
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, being carried out by Shareridge Ltd on behalf of Irish Water, will take place on the N24 and is expected to take approximately 12 weeks to complete.
The section of works will take place between the junction of the N24 and Clairín Close/ Circle K, along the N24 to the junction of the N24 (O’Mahony Avenue) and the R696 at O’Connors Bar.
There will be some traffic management in place, however, local and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
A stop-go system will be in place on small sections of the N24 to minimise any impact on customers.
Customers are also warned of some short-term water outages during the project and Irish Water says customers will be given a minimum of 48 hours notice before any planned water outages.
