DBO Contract: Veolia Water
IntroductionLimerick City's water treatment plant at Clareville is located
on the banks of the Shannon near Castleconnell.
BackgroundFirst phase of the treatment
complex was completed in the 1890's and utilized the Shannon as a source of both raw water and power
Second PhaseThe second phase came at the
end of the 1920's when the pumping arrangement had to give way because of a more spectacular development on the other side of the river.
Latest PhaseIn 1951, a further extension
was completed increasing the capacity to 3.6 Million gallons/day (16,000m3/day) to cater for the growing demands of the city
Public Private Partnership
The DBO option was preferred for Clareville Water Treatment Plant and a contractor has been in operation on the site since 2007. The upgrading of the Plant was officially opened on 25th June 2010. For Further information please read the attached brochure
