Irish Water has awarded Murphy a deal worth around €25 million.

Murphy has been selected to design, build, operate and maintain major water treatment works (WTW) in Ireland.

The project is to design, build, operate and maintain the Staleen and Cavan Hill WTW in County Louth.

Murphy will help the company provide high quality drinking water to the towns of Dundalk and Drogheda through the modernisation and upgrading of two water treatment plants.

The Staleen WTP was originally constructed in 1974 and upgraded in 1986, and now supplies over 80,000 people across Drogheda and East Meath areas. Cavanhill WTP has been in operation since 1991 and supplies over 35,000 people in the Dundalk area.
