Field Trip to Hill of Slane Water Storage Tank

Fourth class visited the water storage tank beside the Hill of Slane this week as part of their work on the water system in Slane.

The class had been learning how Slane's water supply comes from two bore holes beside the river Slane before being treated and pumped to two storage tanks. One is on Stanley Hill and the other on the Hill of Slane.

The class investigated signs of the water supply including Sluice Valves, Fire Hydrants as well as waste water gulleys.

At the end, it was only right to get some time to play on The Hill of Slane itself.
