About this project
Glan Agua Ltd and EPS Group are working on behalf of Uisce Éireann to deliver the National Disinfection Programme across the county.
To date, disinfection systems at 6 plants have been upgraded and standardised.
The sites upgraded are Grenagh Reservoir Site, Castletownroche WTP, (Ballyhooly), Dunmahon WTP, Bweeng WTP and Cullen Pump Station.

Works at the plants included upgrades to the:
- Chemical storage and dosing infrastructure
- Chlorine contact time provision systems
- Disinfection systems using Ultra Violet (UV) barriers where required
- Monitoring instrumentation systems
- Control, telemetry and automation processes

- Improved the security of drinking water for residents and businesses
- Eliminated the risk of boil water notices
- Improved disinfection systems and standards
- Future-proofed the security of supplies
- Provided improved control of the systems
