Work on a new wastewater treatment plant in Dunlavin, Co Wicklow, is now complete.

Wicklow County Council teamed up with Irish Water to help invest €5.5 million in the new plant.

The plant is now delivering a higher level of wastewater treatment, meeting all current environmental standards, and also has the flexibility to expand the capacity to meet any future growth in population.

"This project is part of our ongoing investment aimed at addressing the most serious deficiencies in the water and wastewater network,"said Michael Tinsley, Waste Water Capital Programme Lead at Irish Water. "Completions of major pieces of infrastructure such as this in Wicklow are delivering significant benefits to communities across the country and ensuring that the infrastructure can keep pace with social and economic development, while also protecting the natural environment. I would like to thank Wicklow County Council, the contractors Geda/Ovivo JV and RPS for their support in delivering this project. We are delighted that the residents and businesses in Dunlavin will now have a modern wastewater network capable of meeting all current and future needs while also protecting and maintaining the water quality in the River Greese."
