10.1.6 Waste water networks and treatment

There are currently 34 public wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Kilkenny county.  Irish Water and Kilkenny County Council are continually progressing sewer rehabilitation activities, capital maintenance activities, etc, and the Council will continue to work with Irish Water to monitor the performance of the networks and to advance and realise capital expansions and upgrades of wastewater infrastructure for the continued sustainable growth of the County. 

A Drainage Area Plan is being progressed for the wastewater network in Kilkenny City.  The Drainage Area Plan (DAPs) will assess in detail the performance of the wastewater networks in the City which will inform future investment requirements for the City network.
