Uisce Eireann is investing more than €19 million euro to uprgrade a water treatment plant in County Waterford.
Works have begun at the Adamstown Water Treatment Plant in Kilmeaden, which provides over 70 per cent of Waterford’s water supply to customers in the city and county.
Uisce Eireann says 65,000 people will benefit from a safer and more resilient water supply as a result of the investment - with the investment improving water quality and ensuring future demand is met.
The water utility says the project will bring significant benefits to the local communities and economy of Waterford, adding that there's a commitment to producing a reliable and safe drinking water supply while protecting the local environment.
Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Hugh Kennedy said: “We will carry out upgrades across the filtration and residuals treatment processes at Adamstown Water Treatment Plant to ensure we continue to produce quality drinking water and protect the wider Kilmeaden environment. These works will ensure compliance with current National and EU Drinking Water Regulations and improve security of supply to homes and businesses across the city and county.”
