What We Do
Stranooden GWS sources its water from a lake situated several kilometres south west of Ballybay named White lough, known locally as “Bairds Shore”. It is 1 lake of a network of 8 lakes known locally as the “8 tates” which are part of the Dromore river system which flows west between Ballybay and Cootehill.
The water is abstracted at this location and then pumped approximately 8 miles north to the schemes reception reservoir at Corcaghan. The water is then treated using a dissolved air floatation plant built by the scheme in 1997. The water is then chlorinated and pumped to 1 of 2 distribution reservoirs which hold approx 2200m3/half a million gallons ready for supply throughout our distribution network.
