Uisce Éireann is making significant progress on a €19 million investment to upgrade the Enniscorthy Regional Water Supply - with pipe laying now complete.
The project is being delivered by David Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd on behalf of Uisce Éireann and is due for completion towards the end of 2025.
The scheme will benefit more than 11,000 customers, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply for Enniscorthy and surrounding areas. It will also enable the removal of the supply from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) list of vulnerable water supplies and will ensure continued compliance with national drinking water standards.
Critical improvements to the scheme include upgrading the Vinegar Hill Water Treatment Plant, replacing the raw water intake facility at Clonhaston and constructing a new pumping station.
A total of 2km of water mains is being re-routed to facilitate the transfer of water from the River Slaney to the Vinegar Hill Treatment Plant.
Commenting on the importance of the project for the community, Diane Carroll, Portfolio Manager at Uisce Éireann, said:
"We’re proud of the progress on this critical project for the people of Enniscorthy. The improvements and upgrades to the existing water infrastructure will have a significant benefit to the local community. The new and improved scheme will ensure a reliable and sustainable water supply, while the increased capacity will support future growth and development of the town.”
