As External Services Provider, Jacobs (NYSE:J) is helping Uisce Éireann (previously known as Irish Water) to proactively plan the delivery of high quality, sustainable and resilient water services for Ireland through its Water Services Strategic Plan (WSSP) 2050.
As Ireland's national public water services utility, Uisce Éireann is responsible for the operation and capital investment program for all public water and wastewater services in Ireland – supplying 449 million gallons (1.7 billion liters) of drinking water to customers and treating more than 317 million gallons (1.2 billion liters) of wastewater daily.
The draft WSSP 2050 presents Uisce Éireann's strategic objectives, aims and actions to address the key challenges affecting the delivery of water services to 2050, including the long-term planning approach to address new and emerging trends in an uncertain future.
The WSSP forms the highest tier of Uisce Éireann's management plans and sets the overarching framework for subsequent detailed implementation plans and water services projects. This project is supported under the Multi Supplier Framework for the Provision of Engineering Design Services. Uisce Éireann expects the project to run for approximately two years.
