The completion of the Kilkenny Regional Water Supply Scheme will be marked this morning.
The project was undertaken to improve the security of water supply for approximately 28,000 people across Kilkenny City and surrounding spots.
KCLR News reported last month how Uisce Éireann’s customers in the area had their water supply removed from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) list of vulnerable water supplies.
That followed a €33million investment to upgrade the Troyswood Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and installation of a new network to allow decommissioning of the Radestown WTP, has ensured a safe and reliable water supply for homes and businesses. This investment has resulted in the supply removed from the ‘at risk’ list.
Minister of State Malcolm Noonan is among invited guests to the Troyswood facility
