Works to install 460m of new water main along the Marina Road and Centre Park Road commenced on 15 May 2023. These enabling works form part of a wider project, the Cork South Docks Water Network Extension and Upgrade Project, which have improved the capacity of the existing water network and operational performance in the area.
