Work begins on upgrades to Galway City water supply
From the Galway City Tribune - Works to improve the Galway City Public Water Supply Scheme commenced this week.
Irish Water, working with Galway City Council, started construction of a replacement water intake and associated transfer water main along the banks of the River Corrib.
The company said the works at Dyke Road will ensure a safer and more secure water supply for more than 80,000 residential and business customers in Galway City and surrounding areas.
It said the completion of the intake and transfer water main will ensure that when water levels run low in the River Corrib, that water production at the Terryland Water Treatment Plant will be able to continue as normal.
