The completion of major water works in North Clare has been tipped to improve the region's tourist season.
Uisce Eireann has now replaced 550m of watermains at Sroohil (Shruh- hill) and a 900m section of cast iron pipes on Circular Road.
The phased project was completed with the aim of reducing leakage and water supply disruptions.
Manager of Uisce Eireann's National Leakage Reduction Programme Jack Cronin says it's a hugely positive development.
