Kilnaboy Group Water Scheme was formed in the 1977 with an objective of providing a water supply to the homes and farms of the parish of Kilnaboy.
A committee at the time included the following people, Paddy O’Sullivan, Pauline Collins, Peadar Murphy, John Tierney, Sean Roche, Francis Whelan, Donal Clancy, Kieran Beakey and Michael Reidy.
This committee secured funding to supply water to the Kilnaboy community using an existing borehole which had been provided by local people. The cost of the scheme was £95,000 and this worked well for a number of years before issues such as lime build up in mains and frequent bursts lead to sustainable maintenance costs.
