Foxford water upgrade progressing

IRISH Water, working in partnership with Mayo County Council, is progressing with essential works to enhance the drinking water supply for homes and businesses in Foxford.

The works, which are being carried out in accordance with the current Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions, involve upgrading the water treatment processes at the plant, which will significantly improve the quality and security of water supply to residents and businesses.

The upgrades are due to be complete in quarter two of this year.

Explaining further what’s involved, Martin Temple of Irish Water said: “The upgrade involves the installation of new water treatment processes, including sand filters as well as the installation of pH adjustment and correction systems and associated equipment.

“Customers supplied by this scheme will enjoy enhanced water quality and a more reliable supply once this work has been completed.”
