A Major boost for Carrickmacross has been announced as Uisce Éireann are set to invest €9.7m in the local Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade.
Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Monaghan County Council is proud to announce that works have commenced on the long-awaited upgrade of Carrickmacross Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Once operational, the upgraded 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."
Patrick added: “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.”
