Castletown Group Water Scheme
Water is abstracted from a mountain stream on
the side of Kings Mountain. The abstracted water
gravitates via existing pipework to the treatment
plant site whereon it is collected and pumped
forward to a sand / anthracite filter. The filtered
water is disinfected using hypochlorite liquid
chemical. The treated water is then stored in an
existing concrete reservoir tank supplying water
on demand into the distribution pipe network. The
treatment plant has a water production capacity of
80m 3/d.
Committee: Seamus Waters (Chairman), Martin Shanley (Secretary), Derek Chambers (Treasurer).
Keelogyboy Group Water Supply Scheme
The new plant will treat water from the group
scheme’s existing sources on a stream to the

disinfected using hypochlorite liquid chemical.
The treated water is then stored in a new
concrete reservoir tank supplying water on
demand into a distribution pipe network. The
treatment plant has a water production
capacity of 160m3/d. Keelogyboy GWS treatment works.
