Enniscorthy Water Network Improvement project

Uisce Éireann, in partnership with Wexford County Council, has improved the water network in Enniscorthy to support the economic and social development of the area.

Uisce Éireann has worked in partnership with Wexford County Council on a network improvement programme that will facilitate social and economic growth in the Enniscorthy area.

The works involved the construction of approximately 1650m of new modern water mains. Construction works on the new water mains commenced in early November 2021.

The section of works took place between Edermine (Spring Hill) and Vinegar Hill. Works were undertaken on Cluain Dara, Esmonde Road, through a brownfield site to Drumgoold Road where they continued on the pedestrian path to Vinegar Hill.

The works were carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge Limited and were completed by late December.

Networks Extension Programme

Uisce Éireann's Network Extension Programme is a dedicated programme of works for extending our water and wastewater networks to support strategic development areas that will bring about social and economic growth, including planned residential development, in areas with the greatest need.

The benefits of these network improvement works include:

• Improve the water network - This project will increase our capacity to deliver reliable, sustainable high-quality water services.
• Supporting social and economic development - This project will improve help facilitate social and economic growth.
• Provide a more resilient water supply - This project will improve the resilience of the water network in Tramore.

In order to safely and efficiently complete the works a road closure at Cluain Dara and Esmonde Road is required until Friday 26 November. Local access to either side of the works location will be maintained as the project progresses. Diversions will be signposted on approach with local access and emergency traffic facilitated.

The works may involve some short-term water interruptions and the project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48 hours' notice prior to any planned water interruptions.

We understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and works crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works cause.
