Uisce Éireann is progressing works to improve the security and resilience of the water supply in Clonmel
The project represents a multi-million-euro investment in water infrastructure and will have many benefits for Clonmel and surrounding areas including a safer and more resilient water supply, as well as strategic infrastructure to support current and future growth and development in the area.
Shareridge is delivering the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann and the overall project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
Works 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.
Areas of work will be limited to short sections to minimise impact on customers. To deliver the works safely and efficiently, traffic management will be required.
This information will be shared with local stakeholders and the community. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.
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.
