Irish Water is to replace 3.5km of water mains and install a water booster station in the Coalbrook area where 1,200 households and businesses have suffered water outages and reduced supply in recent weeks.
The water outages and poor water pressure endured by Irish Water customers living in Coalbrook, Ballinastick, Earlshill, Ballincurry, Glengall, Ballingarry and surrounding areas were caused by a number of bursts to water mains serving the Coalbrook Public Water Supply.
Two water mains bursts occurred over the same weekend two weeks ago but have since been repaired.

Customers on the Coalbrook Public Water Supply in south Tipperary are being urged to try conserve water.
Irish Water says it’s working with the Council to repair leaks and safeguard the supply, which serves around 1,200 customers in the surrounding areas.
A number of water main bursts in recent weeks, including two over the weekend, have affected the Coalbrook Public Water Supply.
Irish Water says the bursts have been found and repaired, but this has led to a drop in water levels in the reservoir which continues to impact on local customers.
Measures to counteract the problem include supplying part of the area from the Fethard scheme, as well as fixing leaks and adjusting valves in the network.
