A total of €8 million is to be invested in the works to develop critical infrastructure to support sustainable growth and development, providing safe drinking water, and improving the environment.
Once operational, the upgraded water treatment plant will improve drinking water quality, increase capacity, while ensuring compliance with the current Drinking Water Regulations. The upgrade will also support the long-term sustainable growth and development of North Donegal.

Uisce Éireann's Infrastructure Delivery Programme Manager, Martin Temple said: "Illies Water Treatment Plant is a crucial piece of infrastructure for North Donegal and once the upgrade works have been completed, we will be able to ensure that we can provide a secure and reliable water supply and accommodate future growth. This investment reflects Uisce Éireann’s commitment to the delivery of critical infrastructure in order to support local communities across Donegal to thrive."
The upgrade works will modernise the current water treatment processes at the plant including disinfection systems, sludge handling and treatment systems, monitoring and instrumentation systems and the construction of new kiosks.
