Edenderry-area group water scheme to hold AGM this month

The Ballykilleen Group Water Scheme, which supplies water to rural areas to the south and west of Edenderry, will hold its annual general meeting in the parish centre, Edenderry, on Tuesday, April 28, at 8pm.

The scheme has over 400 connections and supplies more than 100,000 cubic metres of treated potable water annually to homes, farms and businesses in the Shean, Drumcooly, Rathgreedan, Ballyfore, Lumville and Rathvilla areas outside Edenderry.

In 2024, the annual average water usage by domestic customers on the scheme was 177 cubic metres per household, while the standard supply allocation per household is 160 cubic metres per year.

A representative of the scheme said it wished to thank all members who have paid their annual invoices, used the water supplied responsibly, and made arrangements to fix leaks.

These actions are vital to the continued successful operation of the scheme and are much appreciated.

All members are encouraged to attend the AGM later this month, as it provides an opportunity to discuss any concerns members may have regarding the scheme's operation, including: water supply, quality and conservation; debt collection, long-standing debt and charges for the coming year; and scheme management.

It is also an opportunity for members to elect new officers to the management committee.

Members are also encouraged to ensure that the scheme has their current contact details on file - in particular mobile phone numbers - so that contact can be made swiftly in the event of a water supply stoppage or boil water notice.

Current contact information from scheme members should be sent to: ballykilleengws@gmail.com
