Irish Water, working in partnership with Mayo County Council, are happy to announce that works to connect the Ballycastle Public Water Supply to the Ballina Regional Water Supply Scheme (Lacken Reservoir ) are due to be complete next week.
Six kilometres of new interconnecting mains pipe from the existing Lacken Reservoir to the Ballycastle Public Water Supply have been laid and the old water treatment plant at Ballycastle decommissioned. These works will ensure that customers in the Ballycastle area will enjoy a better quality and more resilient water supply into the future.
To allow for the final installation the 360 customers benefiting from this essential project may experience some short term water outages on Monday, January 11 and Tuesday, January 12 2021.
Updates are available on the Irish Water website supply and service section at www.water.ie or by telephone to the customer care helpline on 1850 278 278.
Commenting on the project Martin Temple, Irish Water said: "The decommissioning of the old Ballycastle Water Treatment Plant and the connection of the water supply to the Ballina Regional Water Supply Scheme is a red letter day for the people of Ballycastle.
"They can now enjoy an enhanced quality of drinking water, improved security of water supply and these works will also allow for further growth and development in this area.
"We would like to thank customers who were impacted during these vital upgrade works for their patience and cooperation throughout."
