More than 200,000 people in Ireland are now benefiting from a safer and more secure water supply following commissioning of the new Stillorgan reservoir in September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stillorgan Reservoir site has a total plan area of approximately 16 hectares and was subdivided into three discrete water storage reservoirs, the Gray, Upper and Lower Reservoirs.&nbsp; The Lower and Upper reservoirs were constructed first, as part of the Vartry Water Supply Scheme. The Gray Reservoir was built in 1885 following a period of severe water shortage in Dublin City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reservoirs originally contained water from the Vartry Supply Scheme alone; however, following construction of the Liffey Supply Scheme at Ballymore Eustace in the 1940s, a 24\u201d main was laid between Saggart Reservoir and Stillorgan Reservoir to link the two supplies. An additional 1000mm diameter trunk main linking the supplies was constructed on a phased basis during the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Stillorgan Reservoir project removed the open storage that was in operation and replace it with a covered reservoir of 160ML storage capacity. This will ensure a long-term, secure and sustainable water supply to the region, meeting current and future regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
