... the current studies (Preliminary Report), are examining all relevant issues and additional water supply options

The Options

Water Supply Options that were under Consideration

The current studies, in relation to the long-term water supply needs of the Dublin Region (Water Supply Area), have been underway since 2004. Over the intervening period, two phases of public consultation have taken place (2006 & 2008/09) under the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) process, regarding potential new source options for meeting long-term supply needs. The (2008) draft Plan and Environmental Reports, involving 10 potential new water supply options, were tabled for public consultation under the SEA (Phase 2) process from November 2008 to Feb / March 2009. Consultations with stakeholders during this period were extensive and feedback from the process has now been incorporated, as appropriate, into the current recommendations. A Non Technical Summary of the recommendations (and a Power Point Presentation) is now being made available to stakeholders and the general public, via this dedicated project website, in order to provide an interim update on the current status of the project (July 2010).
