€15m Announced For Burncourt And Fethard Water Supply Schemes

Construction News Image
Irish Water has announced it is investing €15 million to upgrade the Burncourt and Fethard water supply schemes in the county.

In March 2016 Irish Water will transition the new supply of drinking water to properties in the Burncourt and Fethard areas from the new Water Treatment Plants.

The upgrade of the water supply schemes has many benefits for the areas including, security of supply, improved water quality, and will lead to the removal of Burncourt, Gortnapisha and Cloran water supply zones from the EPA Remedial Action List and the lifting of boil water notices from 93 properties in the area which have been in place since 2007. Other benefits of the new water supply schemes include better water pressure to homes and businesses, fewer unplanned water interruptions and a reduction of the leakage in the area.

The Burncourt Regional Water Scheme involved the construction of a new 2,600 M3/day Water Treatment Plant, a 2,600m3 reservoir, sludge holding tanks and ancillary works. The investment in the Fethard water supply scheme includes the construction of a new 6,500 M3/day Water Treatment Plant and a reservoir, as well as new sludge dewatering building, tanks and work to the river Anner intake and pumping station. The new plant is supplied by four different water sources.

Jerry Grant, Head of Asset Management at Irish Water said: "Providing a safe and secure water supply for the communities and businesses in Burncourt and Fethard is a key objective for Irish Water. The upgrade of these water supply schemes will deliver real benefits in terms of security, quality and reliability of supply to the local communities. The removal of long term boil water notices and the removal of Burncourt, Gortnapisha and Cloran from the EPA Remedial Action List will make a real difference to the lives of those who live and work in these communities and will support economic development."
