Glan Agua has commenced work to upgrade and improve Glashaboy Water Treatment Plant in Cork City.

The €11 million project is focusing on a program aimed at modernising and enhancing the treatment processes at the plant. The main objective is to ensure that the raw water entering the facility undergoes treatment to meet the highest standards. By achieving this, the water supplied to customers in Cork City will be safe and reliable, ensuring a resilient water supply for both residential and commercial properties.

Furthermore, the upgrade will result in the removal of the Glashaboy Water Supply from the Environmental Protection Agency's Remedial Action List.

The project will ensure the delivery of a sustainable and more reliable drinking water supply for almost 24,000 customers in Cork City, providing improved water quality and ensuring compliance with EU drinking water quality regulations.

Hugh Kennedy, Uisce Éireann said: "The upgrade at Glashaboy Water Treatment Plant is one of a number of strategically important projects that will increase the security and resilience of the drinking water supply across Cork City. This is another example of Uisce Éireann's commitment to helping local to communities thrive.

"The upgrade works ongoing in Cork City are the largest ever undertaken in the city and will provide a safer and more reliable water supply for homes and businesses for generations to come."

The scheme is expected to be completed by mid-2025.
