Irish Water has started work on a major €35 million water main project to secure drinking water supply for Dublin.
The water company has initiated a major project to secure drinking water supply in the Greater Dublin Area by linking the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant with the Saggart Reservoirs. This will mean that there will be greater connectivity between water supplies so Irish Water can access different sources at different times of the year and during extreme weather events. This will help to ensure a more secure and resilient water supply for homes and businesses.
We are investing over €35 million in the Leixlip to Saggart Water Main Project. The project includes construction of a 6.8km pipeline and pumping station which will increase the connectivity of water supplies within the Greater Dublin Area.
Ward and Burke Construction Ltd. is working to deliver the project for Irish Water.
Commenting on the project, William McKnight, Irish Water Engineer, said:
“The size and scale of this project is really significant and is of real strategic importance to Greater Dublin Area. Once completed, the new pipeline will increase Irish Water’s ability to distribute treated drinking water in the Greater Dublin Area and the surrounding region.
“This is a huge advantage to consumers and Irish Water, particularly during extreme weather events, likes the storms last winter or the drought this summer. It will increase the security of the water supply for homes and businesses alike.
