Uisce Éireann’s Investment in Ballyclough and Mount North Public Water Supply (PWS) Welcome – O’Shea

Uisce Éireann’s customers in Ballyclough and  Mount North area of North Cork will welcome the recent news that their water supply has been removed from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) list of vulnerable water supplies. 

A targeted investment of €425,000 by Uisce Éireann to upgrade the Mount North Water Treatment Plant providing enhanced treatment facilities has ensured a safe and reliable water supply for local homes and businesses.  This investment has resulted in the supply being removed from the ‘at risk list’.

Deirdre O’Loughlin, Regional Drinking Water Compliance Manager at Uisce Éireann said “At Uisce Éireann we are fully committed to identifying and addressing risks to drinking water quality. Our key focus remains the protection of public health through the provision of safe, clean and secure water supplies for local communities. This critical upgrade at Mount North water treatment plant ensures ongoing compliance with drinking water regulations and significantly reduces the risk of future water quality issues”. 

Glanua Ltd delivered these works on behalf of Uisce Éireann. The upgrades will provide a more advanced water treatment process, improving the drinking water quality. 

Deputy John Paul O’Shea said “I am delighted to see these works completed in the area of Ballyclough and Mount North. We need to see more investment in the area by Uisce Eireann and I will work with them and Cork County Council to pursue other such projects for the area”.
