€27.5m water supply scheme opened Q DAWN LOVE
A €27.5 MILLION stateof-the-art high-level water scheme was officially opened in Sandyford by the Minister for the Environment, Phil Hogan, this week. The multimillion euro investment will mean an improved security of supply and enhanced water quality through additional rechlorination facilities for more than 25,000 residents in the Sandy-
ford, Ballyogan, Stepaside and Kilternan areas, as well as commercial users, from Sandyford Business Park to Carrickmines. The scheme has the potential to serve up to 60,000 residents, and will also provide backup to the current independent water supplies to Kilternan, Glencullen and Ballyedmonduff, via the highlevel reservoir.

Tea, coffee and thanks: Smiles at a fundraising coffee morning THERE was a big thank-you hug for
Kay Goggins at the Sallynoggin Inn recently, where Sabrina Keaveny, on behalf of Blackrock Hospice’s Cancer Patient Support programme, was in attendance for the fundraising coffee
morning organised by Kay. Organised in memory of Kay’s daughter, who died from cancer, the morning was a great success with locals, who were keen to help support such a worthy cause. See Gallery on Pages 8-9
