Irish Water has signed a deal with Veolia Water Ireland for an €18.4 million investment in wastewater infrastructure in Donegal.
The towns included in the contract are Killybegs, Bundoran, Glencolumbkille and Convoy.
Killybegs and Bundoran are two of forty-five towns in Ireland where untreated sewage is being discharged directly into the sea according to the EPA Urban Wastewater Report 2014. Wastewater infrastructure in Glencolumbkille and Convoy was rated as 'inadequate' in a report by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The contract will ensure that wastewater treatment in the four towns is compliant with required EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive standards while also allowing for future economic growth in the towns.
Construction work is expected to start in the spring.
