A wastewater treatment plant in County Monaghan has been upgraded through a €6 million investment.
The Castleblayney facility, originally constructed in the 1980s, was improved with new mechanical and electrical equipment, ensuring it is now fully compliant with EU Urban Wastewater Directives.
This project will bring significant benefits to the area in terms of health, development potential and improved water quality for all. By ensuring that all discharges meet the requirements as set out in the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, it will help the continued protection of the receiving waters in Lough Muckno. This in turn will enhance the tourism and amenity value of Castleblayney and provide a platform for future growth in the area.
EPS Group delivered the project on behalf of Irish Water, which included a new inlet works, a new sewer from Muckno Pumping Station to the wastewater treatment plant pumping station and associated infrastructure.
Irish Water invited the Carrickmacross-Castleblayney municipal district councillors on a tour of the newly upgraded site yesterday, Monday 09 December.
