Clareville Water Treatment Plant Presented by Trevor Higgins DBO Contract: Veolia Water

Introduction Limerick City's water treatment plant at Clareville is located on the banks of the Shannon near Castleconnell.

Background �First 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 Phase �The 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 Phase �In 1951, a further extension was completed increasing the capacity to 3. 6 Million gallons/day (16, 000 m 3/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 25 th June 2010. For Further information please read the attached brochure
