In Ballyjamesduff, construction has commenced to improve the current treatment facility, guaranteeing wastewater treatment meets stringent environmental standards. This modernisation initiative involves improving both the wastewater treatment facility and the existing storm tanks, as well as building a new administrative structure. Designed to cater to a population equivalent of 5,200, the upgraded plant will ensure all wastewater receives treatment in accordance with EU directives and EPA licensing mandates.
The €25 million investment promises numerous advantages for the community of Ballyjamesduff, such as upgraded water quality, heightened amenity value, and adherence to environmental regulations. Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Cavan County Council appointed Veolia Water to the project which will set the stage for a cleaner, more sustainable future and enables growth for the local economy.
