Irish Water replacing ageing watermains in Ballina Published: Saturday, 24 April 2021 09:47 Irish Water and Mayo County Council are embarking on a significant project to replace approximately four kilometres of cast iron water mains which will improve the quality of drinking water supplied to customers in the Currower and surrounding areas of Ballina. The mains are being replaced with new high density polyethylene (plastic) pipes along the L5363 through Breaffy and L1323 through Currower. The works are due to commence next week and will be completed in September. Once completed customers in this area will enjoy an improved water supply. Mayo County Council are carrying out the work on behalf of Irish Water in line with Level 5 COVID-19 protocols.
