Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 25 October 2012
140. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding the proposal to add water blending equipment to the River Barrow extraction scheme at Athy, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46963/12]
View answerThe Srowland water treatment plant, which is currently under construction, will utilise water from the River Barrow. Due to the nature of the water supply from the Barrow, Kildare County Council has submitted a proposal to my Department to provide an additional level of treatment in order to maximise the potable water output from the Srowland plant. This application is under examination and a decision will be made as soon as possible.
