Celtic Anglian
Water
Celtic Anglian
Water (CAW) was established in 1998 to participate in the development
of Ireland's water and wastewater infrastructure. CAW is a 50/50
joint venture company between National Toll Roads and Anglian Water
International plc (part of the Anglian Water Group).
CAW operates in the development of water and wastewater
assets - providing water supply, wastewater treatment, plant operation
and maintenance services for both industrial and municipal clients.
The joint venture combines the in-house technical expertise of AWG
plc with NTR local knowledge of the Irish market.
Services
Celtic Anglian Water offers a unique service to both industry and
local authorities, by way of water and wastewater plant operational
services. The company can provide a secure and cost-effective solution
to water and wastewater problems. Recently, the company has diversified
into the Water Metering Industry with great success and is currently
running the Galway County Non-Domestic Metering System.
The efficient operation and management of treatment
plants ensures that correct constant standards can be achieved and,
ideally, a reduction in cost can be delivered by optimising chemical
and electrical usage. Frequently, through better management procedures,
less sludge is produced by the plant and, with today's escalating
costs, these savings can be significant.

Dublin Region Water Conservation Project (DRWCP)
The DRWCP was awarded to Anglian Water Ireland. The project
covered seven separate Local Authorities, servicing a population
of 1.3 million people.
It was initiated to reduce unaccounted for water (UFW) in the Dublin
region distribution network. The existing UFW was understood to
be in excess of 40% and the driving objective of the project was
to reduce this by 50%. The contract was jointly funded by the EU
and the DOELG and split into 3 phases -
- study
- construction -and
- maintenance.
Skills transfer from Anglian Water Ireland to Local Authority staff
was a key component in the success of the project. The water conservation
project involved:
- infrastructure design and installation;
- data analysis;
- leak location and repair;
- mains rehabilitation;
- pressure management;
- analysis of commercial use;
- meter accuracy;
- pressure change.
The total value of the contract was €35 million and covered
the period 1997-2002.
Wastewater Projects
Ringsend Wastewater Treatment Works
Since 1906, Dublin's wastewater received only primary treatment
with the removal of screenings, grit and settleable sludge, which
was dumped offshore in the Irish sea by a dedicated sludge ship.
Wastewater from the north of the city was discharged untreated into
the sea off Howth.
|
The introduction of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive
(1991) - together with the water quality standards laid down
in the EU directive on Bathing Water (76/160/EEC), demanded
an improved level of wastewater treatment and water quality
in the bay.
It was this legislation that led to the planning of the Dublin
Bay Project in 1994.
