Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Monaghan County Council has announced that works have commenced on the long-awaited €9.7 million upgrade of Carrickmacross Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Once operational, the upgraded wastewater treatment plant will not only ensure compliance with the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and protect water quality in the Longfield River, it will also support local housing and economic development.
Speaking about the project, Uisce Éireann’s Infrastructure Delivery Regional lead Patrick Greene said:
“Carrickmacross Wastewater Treatment Plant is a crucial piece of infrastructure for Monaghan and once the upgrade works have been completed, we will be able to ensure that we can accommodate future growth and protect the environment, in a more efficient way. The project reflects Uisce Éireann’s commitment to the efficient delivery of critical infrastructure in order to support local communities across Monaghan.
“This project has been long-awaited but finally we have boots on the ground and are eager to get going. The works will be carried out by EPS and will take about two years to complete but the project will benefit county Monaghan for decades to come. We would like to thank the local community for their support and co-operation as we carry out this work.”
The upgrade works will involve the construction of 3.3km of outfall pipeline which will safely discharge treated water into the Longfield River as well as the construction of a new road into the wastewater treatment plant.
The completed upgrades will also modernise and improve the wastewater treatment process at the plant, ensuring water is treated in compliance with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
