Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown Disinfection Programme

National Disinfection Programme

The National Disinfection Programme ensures Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown will continue to have safe and secure drinking water. We have been working with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to complete a detailed assessment of the water treatment plants in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.

About this project

Cully Automation Limited and Veolia Limited is working on behalf of Uisce Éireann to deliver the National Disinfection Project across the county. The Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown programme is now complete.

Disinfection systems at 7 plants have been upgraded and standardised. We have also finished operational upgrades to public water supplies and pumping stations.

These sites include: Church Road PS, Rathmichael PS, Kellystown PS, Foxrock PS, Ballyedmonduff Reservoir, Woodtown Reservoir and Burrow Road Reservoir.
