Clonmel Regional Water Supply Scheme
Water Supply Project
Uisce Éireann has completed the construction of a new reservoir and water mains, which will benefit the northern parts of Clonmel Town and surrounding areas.
Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Tipperary County Council, has completed the Clonmel Regional Water Supply Scheme North Storage project. This project included the construction of a new reservoir and over 4 kilometres of new water mains.
