Customers in Jonestown, Edenderry can soon look forward to a more secure and reliable water supply as Uisce Éireann begins essential upgrade works next week.

As part of its National Leakage Reduction Programme, Uisce Éireann has prioritised the replacement of over 5 km of ageing watermains in the Jonestown area.
