Irish Water to invest €3 million in water infrastructure in Cavan

Irish Water has today confirmed it will invest €3 million in the Kingscourt Water Supply Scheme. The works will ensure a safe and sustainable water supply for Kingscourt and surrounding rural areas including supply to Ballinaclose, Co Meath.

The contract to construct the new water treatment plant was signed on 6th May with Veolia Water Ireland. Works will commence in July of this year and are expected to be completed in one year.

The contract includes the construction of a new water treatment plant, complete with a storage reservoir at the existing Kingscourt Water Treatment Plant site. An off- site well will also be developed at Descart, Co Monaghan which will supply raw water to the new water treatment plant to provide security of supply to the water supply scheme.
