Irish Water partnered with Wicklow County Council to develop the new facility which will provide a new safe and secure water supply for Arklow Town and its environs.
Sean Laffey, Asset Programmes Manager at Irish Water said: "This project has involved an investment of over €10 million and has been ongoing for the last ten years. Here today we can see the results of that investment which will benefit the people of Arklow and surrounding areas for many years to come. Arklow can now depend on a safe and secure water supply. A 60% increase in capacity of the treatment plant will support both future growth in population and business development in Arklow. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Wicklow County Council, Arklow Municipal District Council and AECOM Cradock JV, the contractor responsible for the delivery and operation of the facility. I would also like to extend my thanks to the people of Arklow for their patience as this work was completed."
