Problematic water mains to be replaced in Deerpark
Irish Water is to replace approximately 1,200 metres of water mains between Arbutus Grove, Arbutus Drive and Countess Road.
The works, to replace problematic trunk water mains in Deerpark, will commence in mid-September.
The works are expected to run until mid-December and some outages will occur.
Motorists are advised to also prepare for traffic disruption during the project.
Works will commence adjacent to the rear entrance of Dr Croke’s GAA pitches on Arbutus Grove, and will proceed along Arbutus Grove and Drive, through the Park Road roundabout where the new pipe will tie into the existing network on Countess Road.
“We are extremely pleased to be replacing this section of trunk main for the community here in Deerpark. Replacing these old and problematic trunk water mains will reduce the drinking water lost by leakage and will bring an all-round improvement to water quality for the community,” Steven Blennerhassett from Irish Water said.
“In partnership with Ward and Burke and Kerry County Council, we have been engaging with the residents and aim to complete the works with as little disruption as possible by early December. However, the works may involve some short-term water outages. Our project team will ensure that customers are given a minimum of 48-hours’ notice before any planned water outages. Where water mains are being replaced, traffic management may be in place. Parking spaces may be temporarily closed to complete works. Local and emergency traffic will be maintained at all times.”
