The 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.
