Skibbereen water supply scheme to be upgraded

More than 7,000 homes in West Cork are set to benefit from a major upgrade in their water supply and tenders are to go out within days for the flood relief scheme for Clonakilty.

Irish Water, in partnership with Cork County Council, has announced that it is planning to upgrade the Skibbereen Regional Water Supply Scheme to ensure that it is capable of meeting the current and future demands of the area, while also providing customers with a safe, secure, and reliable supply of drinking water.

This will benefit home-owners living in Skibbereen, Schull, Leap, Bluid, Sherkin Island, Castledonovan, and Drimoleague.
