The project is to be finished in the Autumn.

A major project to upgrade and improve the wastewater network in Monasterevin is due to begin this week and is scheduled for completion in the Autumn.

The project will involve the construction of over 700 meters of new sewers at the junction of the L7055/R417 in Monasterevin, progressing towards the R445 (Dublin Road) before joining the existing network at the junction of R414, outside Brennan’s Pub.

Dave Murphy, Asset Delivery Lead at Irish Water commented:"A sewer network that is fit for purpose is essential to support business and social development in the community.

"These works will support existing and future residential and commercial development including the construction of a new secondary school," he added.

Traffic management will be in place in the form of a stop/go traffic light system. Local and emergency traffic will be maintained at all times. Where potential road closures are required, Irish Water has said it will ensure communication is provided locally.

The project is being delivered by Coffey Construction Limited on behalf of Irish Water and is due to be completed in Autumn.

Irish Water has said the delivery of this essential wastewater project will support future economic growth and development, facilitating the construction of a new secondary school in the town.

It said it will also improve the capacity and performance of the existing sewer network

Irish Water is working on the project in conjunction Kildare County Council.

Irish Water customer care helpline is open 24/7 on 1800 278 278 and customers can also contact on Twitter @IWCare with any queries.
