Uisce Éireann’s winning ways continue in Waterford with €19m upgrades underway

More than 65,000 Uisce Éireann customers across Waterford will feel the benefit of a €19m upgrade currently underway at Adamstown Water Treatment Plant. This major investment at the plant, which provides over 70% of the county’s water supply, will ensure homes and business will have a more reliable and sustainable drinking supply for generations to come. 

Uisce Éireann has prioritised this investment in Waterford to ensure current capacity demand is met for our customers while also facilitating future social and economic growth. 

Works on this critical project commenced earlier this year and are progressing well. As well as upgrading the plant, these works will drive energy efficiency using new technology and automation.

Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Hugh Kennedy is pleased with the progress that has been made since the commencement of this essential upgrade for the people of Waterford.

“This €19m investment will bring significant benefits to the local communities and economy of Waterford city and county. We are carrying out upgrades across the filtration and residuals treatment processes at Adamstown Water Treatment Plant to ensure we continue to produce quality drinking water and protect the wider Kilmeaden environment. These works will ensure compliance with current National and EU Drinking Water Regulations and improve security of supply to homes and businesses across the city and county.”

This critical investment is being carried out by Glanua on behalf of Uisce Éireann and will be complete in 2027.
