Veolia has completed work to improve the Rathmullen Water Treatment Plant in Donegal.

Irish Water invested €0.5 million in the project which included building a multi-flow clarifier, a sludge storage facility as well as providing new chemical storage and associated site works.

Veolia completed the work over a 10-week period assisted by Donegal County Council on behalf of Irish Water.

The Rathmullan supply is on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Remedial Action List (RAL) for high levels of THMs and the works were undertaken to reduce the risk posed by THMs for these customers.

Irish Water's Capital Programme, Lead Martin Temple, said "These important works for the Rathmullan Water Treatment Plant have just been completed and consumers in the area are now being supplied with an improved water quality where the risk from THMs has been reduced."
