Uisce Éireann has launched a new Advanced Water Stewardship Programme for business customers who produce trade effluent – and companies in Donegal are being encouraged to sign up.
This fully funded training is delivered in partnership with Water Stewardship Ireland and the Sustainable Enterprise Skillnet. It is designed to help businesses address water quality and trade effluent challenges, prepare for upcoming regulations, and manage future charges more effectively.
One of the first companies to join the programme is Mondelez Ireland. Padraig Nolan, Facilities and Environmental Manager shared: “We are delighted to have the benefit of this fully funded training, which supports both our business and the wider community. It’s a fantastic initiative and we would highly recommend it to other companies managing trade effluent. The programme has helped us to think differently about our site’s water impact and take positive steps toward environmental stewardship.”
The programme is ideal for site managers, environmental leads, and professionals responsible for water use. Through a series of interactive workshops, participants will develop a tailored Water Charter for their facility – identifying risks, mapping water use and drainage, and finding opportunities to reduce, reuse and restore water on site.
Geoffrey Bourke, Head of Customer Operations at Uisce Éireann said: “This programme supports our trade effluent customers and enhances water quality across Ireland. At Uisce Éireann, we are working toward a future where water is respected and protected for all. Supporting businesses in this way is key to that vision.”
