Irish Water has announced an investment into a new fleet of water services vans for staff in Donegal.
Six new work vehicles were delivered to Donegal County Council last week. A total of 56 new vehicles will be delivered to Donegal over the coming three months.
Irish Water said the upgrading of the fleet in Donegal is part of an ongoing strategy to improve the service delivered to customers.
The new vehicles will be operated by Donegal County Council on behalf of Irish Water, and will be used for the maintenance and upkeep of the water networks across the county, in routine, reactive and emergency situations.
