Uisce Éireann has announced an investment of over €19 million to upgrade a treatment plant in Kilmeaden, benefiting 65,000 people across Waterford.

Work has commenced at the Adamstown Water Treatment Plant (WTP), which supplies more than 70% of Waterford's water to customers in both the city and county. This upgrade will ensure a more reliable water supply, enhance water quality, and meet future demand, benefiting generations to come. The essential investment is being carried out by Glanua on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
