Uisce Éireann’s is starting work to improve the security and resilience of the water supply across Clonmel to improve water supply for customers.
The project, which represents a multi-million-euro investment in water infrastructure, will result in homes and businesses of Clonmel and surrounding areas being able to enjoy a safer, more secure water supply.
In recent months, Uisce Éireann has carried out local remedial and improvement works to address the number of unplanned interruptions and water quality issues. This now marks the next stage in Uisce Éireann’s investment in Clonmel and will deliver a more robust, resilient water supply through upgraded treatment facilities, additional storage, and an upgraded network.
The works will involve an upgrade to the treatment facilities at Monroe Water Treatment Plant (WTP); the installation of 15km of new water mains, as well as upgrades to the Rathronan Pump Station which will connect the Monroe supply to the Clonmel North Reservoir and Poulavanogue network. It will address water quality risks for customers on the town’s Poulavanogue supply, allowing it to be taken off the EPA’s Remedial Action List.
Uisce Éireann Water Regional Operations Manager, Jim Fitzgerald, said:
“This essential work is part of a significant investment by Uisce Éireann to improve the water infrastructure across Tipperary, prioritising investment where it is needed most.
“The upgrade of Monroe Treatment Plant and the construction of 15km of new water main will ensure a more robust, resilient water supply and significant enhancement to water security across the town. Towns like Clonmel have had to deal with periods of instability regarding their water supply. This project will significantly improve the security and resilience of the Clonmel supply and allow the community to thrive into the future.”
The project will be carried out by Shareridge on behalf of Uisce Éireann. Site investigation works are starting in August with main construction works currently planned to commence in September. The works will take approximately 18 to 24 months to complete and will be carried out in phases to minimise disruption to the local community.
