Installation of UV Water treatment system resolved Galway Cryptosporidium outbreak in 2007
Foundations for the construction of an Ultra Violet module being added to the Water Treatment Plant at Terryland, Galway following the Cryptosporidium outbreak in March '07.
Assembly of the UV system. The already treated water passes through the UV lamps thus rendering inactive any cryptosporidium spores that manage to get through the earlier filtration processes.
Following UV treatment, the water is pumped to a holding tank and onwards to the City network of reservoirs.
An aerial view of the underground UV treatment plant prior to being covered. Two UV lamp systems were installed.
