Uisce Éireann is delighted to announce the completion of upgrade works at the Kilmallock Bridge Water Treatment Plant in Co. Wexford.

Uisce Éireann were recently joined at the water treatment plant by local Elected Representatives to see firsthand the work undertaken to provide the wider community with a more reliable water supply.

The upgrade will improve the security of the water supply for over 11,000 Uisce Éireann customers in Castlebridge, Curracloe, Ballymurn, Crossabeg, Glenbrien, Screen, and Oilgate.

The project involved the construction of two new treated water storage reservoirs, a new pump station, and associated structures such as an above-ground kiosk, underground pipework, cabling, landscaping, and other site development work.

Noel Gibbons, Programme Manager with Uisce Éireann, said, “Our primary focus during construction was to ensure the continuous provision of safe, clean drinking water to local homes and businesses and to support the necessary capacity for growth. I am delighted that we can now celebrate the completion of this important project, and I would like to thank the local community for their unwavering support and patience."

Pip Breen, Cathaoirleach, of Wexford County Council, said: “I am delighted to be here today to witness firsthand how this upgrade will benefit the local area. This improvement will play a crucial role in shaping the local area's future."

Minister of State for International Law, Law Reform & Youth Justice James Browne said: “The completion of this project has been crucial in ensuring the provision of a reliable supply of drinking water and supporting the future growth and development of Castlebridge, Curracloe, Ballymurn, Crossabeg, Glenbrien, Screen, and Oilgate. I want to commend everyone involved in bringing this project to completion and Uisce Éireann for advancing this essential project as part of its continuous investment in Wexford.”
