Keash Farmers Co-Operative Group Water Scheme The water supply for this scheme is provided from Lough Labe. Water is pumped from the lake to the treatment works site located a distance of 2 km away in the townland of Treanmore on Keash Mountain. The water quality from the lake is of the highest standard requiring the need for only simple filtration. A new Keash GWS treatment works. circular concrete reservoir was constructed and a plant room with associated services and equipment. Care was taken to ensure that the reservoir and building were provided with screening to help integrate the development at this highly scenic location. A random rubble stone wall was constructed on the front elevation and soil was imported onto the site and backed up onto the side walls of the reservoir. The contractor co-operated with Duchas Heritage Service in order to minimise impact on flora and fauna. A three phase power supply was taken to the scheme from Castlebaldwin .

Castlebaldwin Group Water Scheme Limited The Castlebaldwin Group Water Supply Scheme abstracts their water from Lough Arrow and had up until now been unable to provide consistent water quality standards to meet their members’ requirements. It proved necessary for the contractor to provide a fully integrated treatment plant with the need for addition of chemicals in order to treat parameters such as colour, turbidity, iron and manganese. A comprehensive treatment plant was supplied and a treatment building was constructed to house this equipment. Concerns in relation to the impact the development might have on views from the lake were addressed by providing random rubble stone on the gable of the building. This plant can deliver 483m 3/day Committee: Joe Mullaney (Chairman), Gearoid O’Connor (Secretary), Frank Meehan and Noel Taheny (Joint Treasurers), John Cawley, John J. Brennan, Pat Kearins, Maura O’Connor (Administrator), Tommy O’Dowd (Maintenance) Geevagh/Highwood Group Water Supply Limited The largest scheme in the bundle is Geevagh/Highwood, with a production demand of 628m 3 per day.
