Protecting your drinking water

Protecting your drinking water at its source to ensure a high-quality drinking water supply. It is widely recognised that protecting drinking water at it's source is the No.1 method of ensuring that a high quality is achieved. The National Federation of Group Water Schemes (NFGWS) is actively involved in promoting source protection amongst the group water sector in Ireland. Presently Phase II of the new “Drinking Water Source Protection Pilot Project” is underway. This pilot will involve source protection planning for both groundwater and surface water sourced Group Water Schemes (GWSs).

Stranooden GWS has been selected as the pilot site for the surface water aspect of the project. Ross Mac Donald is the current Source Protection Officer appointed by Stranooden GWS to oversee the project. His Focus is:

  1. Maintaining a Source Protection Plan
  2. Implementing Phase 3 of The pilot project. 

The scheme abstracts its water from White Lough (also known as Baird Shore), where it’s then pumped to its water treatment plant in Corcaghan. Eight groundwater supplied GWSs, located in Co. Roscommon and Co. Westmeath have also been included in this national initiative, with this aspect of the work being conducted by Tobin Consulting Engineers, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) and The NFGWS.
