Murphy Processing Engineering Limited has signed a deal with Irish Water to upgrade and enhance two water treatment plants in Co Louth.
The work on the Staleen Water Treatment Plant and the Cavanhill Water Treatment Plant is to start soon and is expected to take 18 months to complete.
Irish Water is progressing with the design works associated with the replacement of the existing pumped supply main from Roughgrange Pumping Station on the banks of the River Boyne to Staleen Water Treatment Plant.
The Roughgrange Pumping Station which pumps water to the Staleen WTP and the Stephenstown Pumping Station which pumps water to the Cavanhill WTP are amongst Irish Water's top energy users.
William McKnight, Infrastructure Regional Lead at Irish Water, said: "The Staleen WTP is on the EPA's RAL for exceedances of THMs. The upgrade works to the plant will enable South Louth which includes the supply to Drogheda and East Meath WSZ's to be removed from the RAL. The upgrade at Staleen will also benefit the environment as it will improve the treatment of the existing discharges to the River Boyne and improve energy efficiency at both plants. It is a priority for Irish Water to upgrade both plants to ensure they comply with all drinking water standards."
