Water Supply Project
Balbriggan Water Supply Scheme
Works are progressing to upgrade 5.7km of water mains to increase security water supply for local residents and businesses in Balbriggan
The Balbriggan Water Supply Scheme (WSS) serves a population of 24,200 via the Kilsough. Reservoir. The existing water main between Jordanstown and Kilsough Reservoir is operating beyond its capacity resulting in interruptions to supply and is inadequate to meet potential growth in the Water Supply Zone. Works are ongoing to upgrade the capacity of the water main system to meet current and future water supply demands in Balbriggan.
