NI Water has completed a £3.2m Wastewater Treatment Works to enhance services for the community of Monea, outside Enniskillen. Construction began in 2024 and continued for almost two years. The investment will accommodate increased development well into the future while delivering economic and environmental benefits for the area.

The upgraded facility adopts a natural, environmentally friendly approach, using aerated reed beds to treat wastewater effluent to a high standard.

Martin Armstrong NI Water Project Manager said: "NI Water is delighted to complete this new natured based wastewater solution for Monea village, which will support future growth and development in the area, as well as providing key environmental benefits such as enhancing the river water quality in the Monea River and Lower Lough Erne.
