Galway Bay fm newsroom - Preliminary work will begin tomorrow to upgrade infrastructure at Tuam Road in the city to provide a more reliable water supply for local water users.
Irish Water is working with the city and county councils to replace a total of 2.6 kilometres of problematic water main along Tuam Road.
The programme of works will see the replacement of 1 kilometre of piping from the Polkeen Industrial Estate to Cappanabornoa.
