Uisce Éireann’s commitment to improving the water supply for the people of Trim, Meath continues with the commissioning of a new Dissolved Air Flotation and Filtration (DAFF) treatment system commencing next week to safeguard and enhance the resilience of the local water supply.
Uisce Éireann and its delivery partners will start commissioning work next week of a new Dissolved Air Flotation and Filtration (DAFF) treatment system to replace the existing unit at its Trim Water Treatment Plant in Co. Meath.
The new DAFF system will include a capital investment of approximately €1.5 million - the project is an interim measure to safeguard the water supply and improve reliability and resilience of the water network.
Project works commenced on site in 2024 and the commissioning works will commence this month. Following a testing period, the new DAFF treatment system will be operational by mid-February 2025. All works will be contained within Trim Water Treatment Plant.
Due to critically low levels of water at the reservoir and to maintain a daytime supply for customers, Uisce Éireann will implement tankering of water to the treatment plant to maintain supply and facilitate commissioning of the new process. In addition, nighttime restrictions will be in place for the duration of the works.
Construction of a completely new Trim Water Treatment Plant is programmed to commence later in 2025, subject to the completion of procurement of the contractor to deliver the works.
Speaking about the benefits of the project, Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager, Ivan Corcoran, said the works carried out as part of this project would improve the reliability and resilience of the Water Treatment Plant and benefit over 12,000 customers in the community.
