Swords Road Resurfacing

Posted on 1 February 2012 by

We have been advised by Fingal County Council that the watermain being constructed along the Swords/Malahide Road is being continued through the Malahide Park and will provide water to supply the Malahide Reservoir.  When this has been completed it must undergo various tests before it can be made live and the branch connections are transferred to the new watermain. 

When all this work has been finished, and FCC is confident there is no loss of water along the new pipe, the permanent reinstatement of the road can be carried out.  It is expected that this will be before the end of February.
