Irish Water is progressing a strategic project to provide connectivity between the major treated water reservoirs at Peamount and Saggart in South County Dublin.
Once complete, the new 7 kilometre large diameter trunk watermain will increase the security of supply for Dublin City and South County Dublin.
Irish Water has published confirmation of the Compulsory Purchase Order for land purchase, permanent wayleaves, permanent right of way and temporary working areas at a number of locations in South County Dublin.
The CPO is required for the construction of the watermains, which will be laid in agricultural fields between the two reservoirs. As part of the project a pumping station will also be constructed at Peamount. The works will take place near the towns of Newcastle, Rathcoole and Saggart in County Dublin.
Commenting on the announcement William McKnight, Asset Delivery Infrastructure East and Midlands Regional Lead at Irish Water, said:
“This project is of strategic importance to Dublin City and South County Dublin. Upon completion of the project, the new pipeline will increase Irish Water’s ability to distribute treated drinking water in the Greater Dublin Area and the surrounding region and thereby increase the security of the water supply for residents and businesses.”
