Kilgarvan Water Supply Scheme

Uisce Éireann has completed works to upgrade the water treatment plant in Kilgarvan, Co Kerry. 

Uisce Éireann has completed works to upgrade Kilgarvan Water Treatment Plant. This €600,000 investment will benefit 749 customers ensuring the delivery of a clean, safe drinking water source, and remove this area from the EPA’s Remedial Action List (RAL). Cantwell Electrical Engineering Ltd. delivered these works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.

The Kilgarvan Public Water Supply (PWS) was on the EPA Remedial Action List (RAL) for elevated concentrations of Trihalomethanes (THMs) above the drinking standards. The upgrades will now provide a more advanced water treatment process, improving the drinking water quality, benefitting the people of Kilgarvan and the surrounding area.
 

As part of this project Uisce Éireann completed:

• Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, borehole works and ancillary works 

The upgrade works carried out as part of this project will now: 

• Ensure the delivery of safe, clean drinking water to residents and businesses in the surrounding area;
• Improve water quality and water treatment standards;
• Ensure the removal of Kilgarvan Water Supply from the EPA’s RAL.
• Ensure compliance with current drinking water quality regulations
