Gowran Regional Water Supply Scheme
Water Supply Project
Uisce Éireann is progressing works to deliver a major upgrade to the Gowran Regional Water Supply.
Uisce Éireann, is progressing works on the Gowran Regional Water Supply Scheme to improve the security of water supply across Gowran, Goresbridge and Paulstown. This project represents a significant investment which will benefit over 1,200 customers.
The project includes the construction of a new water treatment plant, treated water storage tanks, rising mains and development of two abstraction boreholes to supplement existing supply arrangements. This project will also improve the quality and security of water supply for the area and provide additional capacity for connections to the scheme.
David Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd., is delivering the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
