Glan Agua Limited has been signed to deliver the €16.6m scheme and construction is due to get underway in the coming months.
The project will result in a more secure, safer and cleaner supply of water for the town and surrounding areas. This new supply will replace 10 existing water treatment plants which are vulnerable to water quality issues.

In addition, a new water treatment plant will be built at Killenyearda, along with intake works and a pumping station at Rathkeenan and associated mains.
Irish Water's Programme Manager, Lisa Cogan, said: "Irish Water and Tipperary County Council are pleased to be progressing this project which is essential in order to provide clean, safe drinking water for local businesses and residents.
"The project represents an investment of €16.6m in Tipperary which will benefit the community now and into the future. It will also enable the realisation of benefits from previous investments in the network and reservoirs in the Thurles Regional Water Supply Scheme."
