Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Customers in Donaghmore can look forward to a more secure and reliable water supply as Uisce Éireann begins essential upgrade works in the area next week.

As part of its National Leakage Reduction Programme, Uisce Éireann has prioritised the replacement of over 1km of ageing water mains between Aloha and Skuna Hill in Donaghmore, Co Wexford.

This investment will provide a more secure and reliable water supply in the area and will also reduce leakage of treated water being lost into the ground.

Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Dave Murphy is looking forward to delivering the project for customers in the local communities. “This essential work is part of an investment by Uisce Éireann to improve the water network across County Wexford, prioritising investment where it is needed most. We would like to thank customers in Donaghmore in advance for their cooperation and patience while we complete these works."

These works will be delivered on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge, with completion expected by late Spring 2026.

The project team will ensure that customers receive a minimum of 48 hours’ notice in advance of any planned outage while the upgrades are underway.

The Uisce Éireann Customer Contact Centre, open 24/7 on freephone 1800 278 278, is available to answer any queries.

These upgrades in County Wexford are part of the National Leakage Reduction Programme and are designed to reduce leakage, minimise the risk of disruptive bursts and strengthen the local water network for the community.

Uisce Éireann’s long-term goal is to reduce leakage to 20%, and we are committed to achieving this through appropriate and targeted investment in our water network. 

To help achieve this, we are investing more than €1 billion up to the end of 2029 in the network, including leakage reduction measures. This planned investment will deliver further vital upgrades to the underground water network, reducing leakage, improving water quality, and providing a more reliable water supply for Irish homes and businesses.
