NI Water's Lay Treatment Works To Be Completed By March 2013

Regional Development Minister, Danny Kennedy, has viewed progress on the £2.7million upgrade at NI Water's Clay Lake Water Treatment Works and the £5 million investment programme to upgrade the existing wastewater treatment facility at Keady, Co. Armagh.

The £2.7 million project at Clay Lake Water Treatment Works will meet local demands and ensure that drinking water quality for Keady and the surrounding area meets stringent EU standards. The project has been ongoing since April 2011 and is scheduled to be completed in March 2013.


During the day, the Minister also visited Keady to mark the progress of work to complete a £5 million upgrade to Keady Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW). The new works will bring environmental benefits to the area as well as meeting national and EU requirements.

Commending the improvements, the Minister said: "I welcome the progress made to date on the Clay Lake project and the upgraded Wastewater Treatment Works at Keady. There is no doubt that both projects will bring significant benefits to water and wastewater services for customers in Keady and the surrounding area."
