There was good news for the community of Glenmore, Kilkenny this week with the news that the water supply has been removed from the EPA’s Remedial Action List.
Irish Water, working in partnership with Kilkenny County Council, has completed works to improve the water supply for the village. This investment benefits over 135 customers, ensuring the delivery of a clean, safe drinking water supply.
“This upgrade of Glenmore’s Water Supply Scheme is hugely important for the area, said Pat Duggan, Drinking Water Compliance Specialist with Irish Water. As part of this project, Irish Water upgraded the water treatment processes and installed a new ultra-violet (UV) disinfection system which meant that these works addressed the EPAs concerns regarding Cryptosporidium risk in the Glenmore supply and enabled its removal from the EPA’s Remedial Action List (RAL).”
