Uisce Éireann is investing €19 million-plus in its Adamstown Water Treatment Plant in Waterford – the plant provides over 70% of Waterford’s water supply to customers in the city and county.
The upgrade will see 65,000 people across Waterford benefit from a safer and more resilient water supply which will also improve water quality and ensure that demand is met.
This critical investment is being carried out by Glanua on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Hugh Kennedy commented:
“This project will bring significant benefits to the local communities and economy of Waterford city and county. We are committed to producing a reliable and safe drinking water supply while protecting the local environment and this project is key to their delivery.”
The water company will carry out upgrades across the filtration and residuals treatment processes at Adamstown WTP to ensure it can continue to produce quality drinking water and protect the wider Kilmeaden environment. The 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.
The commencement of the project marks another major milestone in Uisce Éireann’s work to upgrade and improve the water network across the country, prioritising investment where it is needed most and enabling these communities to thrive.
