Gowran Regional Water Supply Scheme

Uisce Éireann commences works to upgrade the Gowran Regional Water Supply.

Uisce Éireann is commencing with works on the Gowran Regional Water Supply Scheme to improve the security of water supply across Gowran, Goresbridge and Paulstown. This project represents a €12m investment which will benefit 1,200 people.

The project includes the construction of a new water treatment plant, reservoir, rising mains and development of two abstraction boreholes to supplement existing supply arrangements. This project will also improve the quality and security of water supply for the area and provide additional capacity for connections to the scheme.

David Walsh Civil Engineering Ltd is delivering the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.

• Ensure a safe, secure and reliable water supply to Gowran, Goresbridge and Paulstown.
• Improved water supply for the area which will also enable future growth and development in Gowran and surrounding areas.
