Award of €25 million Boherboy Water Supply Scheme Civil Contract.

The Boherboy Water Supply Scheme involves a major upgrading and expansion of the water supply network and storage infrastructure in the areas of Saggart, Rathcoole, Brownsbarn, Citywest, the Southern parts of Tallaght and areas of Ballycragh, Old Bawn, Knocklyon, Ballyboden and Ballycullen. The project is being funded under the Department's Water Services Investment Programme 2007 - 2009 at a total estimated cost of €38.7 million.

The area which the new scheme will serve currently has no storage reservoirs and suffers from inadequate water pressure. This scheme provides for the construction of 41km of watermain, new reservoirs at Saggart and Kiltalown and a pumping station in Saggart.

This scheme will provide consumers with a reliable, modern water storage and supply infrastructure that will benefit not only the existing population, but will also facilitate new development in the previoulsy mentioned areas.

South Dublin County Council awarded the €25M contract for the Civil Works to Pierse Contracting Ltd on 18th March, 2008. Construction will commence shortly and the expected duration of the contract is 18 months.
