Cavan Disinfection Programme
National Disinfection Programme
Uisce Éireann is upgrading Water Treatment Plants across Cavan as part of the National Disinfection Programme.
About this project
Veolia Ltd is working on behalf of Uisce Éireann to deliver the National Disinfection Programme across the county. To date, disinfection systems at 2 plants have been upgraded and standardised.
The sites upgraded are Kilawaun WTP (Cootehill) and Swanlinbar WTP.

- Chlorine contact time provision systems
- Disinfection systems using Ultra Violet (UV) barriers where required
- Monitoring instrumentation systems
- Control, telemetry and automation processes
