Riverstick Reservoir/Belgooly Water Supply Scheme

Water Project

Uisce Éireann to invest over €600,000 to upgrade Riverstick Reservoir and Belgooly Water Supply Scheme.

Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Cork County Council, is investing over €600,000 as part of the upgrade Riverstick Reservoir and Belgooly Water Supply Scheme. The works will be carried out by Sorensen Civil Engineering Ltd and will take approximately 6 months to complete.
