WORK ON CITY WATER METERING TO BEGIN NEXT MONTH

Date Published: 17-Aug-2011

Galway city is to get water meters from next month.

Shareridge Limited has been appointed by the City Council to carry out the work to install new infrastructure from September.

The city will be divided into 80 'District Metering Areas' and the work is expected to take up to a year.

It'll provide an improved and upgraded management system for the City Council to monitor water leaks and conserve water.

Senior Engineer with the Water Services Department at the City Council, Ray Brennan, says there will be some disruption during the works.
