Site investigation works for a major infrastructural project to benefit the communities of Ballina, Bonniconlon and Tubbercurry are underway with public information evenings also organised for the community.
35,000 Uisce Éireann customers will benefit from the Ballina and Lough Talt Water Supply Upgrade Project which will deliver a more reliable water supply.
Ballina’s ageing water network will be upgraded, a new trunk main connecting Lisglennon to Ballina and onto Bonniconlon and Lough Talt laid, capacity increased for future growth in the region and the end of water abstraction from Lough Talt will restore natural lake levels and provide significant ecological benefits to local habitats and wildlife.
In the meantime, Uisce Éireann has organised elected representative briefings and public information evenings to update locals on the project.
A drop in public information event will be held in Bonniconlon Community Centre on Monday, 3 March from 6-9pm.
Two days later on Wednesday, 5 March a drop in information event will be held in Killala Community Centre from 6-9pm.
Briefings have also been organised for elected representatives.
