Upgrade works providing improved quality drinking water for 11,000 customers are due to commence on the treated water storage facility at Kilmallock Bridge serving Castlebridge, Curracloe, Ballymurn, Crossabeg, Glenbrien, Screen and Oylegate.
Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Wexford County Council made the official announcement today.
Speaking about the benefits of this essential upgrade, Ian O’Neill, Portfolio Manager at Uisce Éireann, told WexfordLocal.com; “Uisce Éireann is delighted to be investing in this significant and essential project for communities in Wexford. This important upgrade is needed to increase capacity through the provision of adequate storage facilities and to ensure resilience and security of the water supply, and he added; “We look forward to working with local communities as we continue to invest in Wexford’s future,”
As part of the upgrade, Uisce Éireann will construct a total of two new treated water storage tanks, providing over 24 hours of storage. The project will also see the installation of a de-chlorination system, a new pumping station, the laying of new, modern pipes and cabling together with landscaping and site development at the Kilmallock Bridge Water Treatment Plant.
The works will be carried out by Coffey Construction Ltd on behalf of Uisce Éireann and are expected to be completed in the Autumn of 2024. We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.
