Six county wastewater plants to be upgraded

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Six wastewater treatment plants across the county are to be upgraded.
Irish Water has confirmed that it intends to carry out works at plants in Mountbellew, Ballygar, Athenry, Ahascragh and Glenamaddy – as well as the upgrade of the Tuam plant.
Mountbellew and Ballygar are at an advance stage of the design process, and the Ahascragh project is likely to go to construction next year.
Meanwhile, design works are underway for the Newbridge facility.
Cathaoirleach of Galway County Council, Michael Connolly, says the upgrades are vital to the economic development and residential capacity of Galway’s rural communities.
Councillor Connolly says strategic towns like Athenry are in desperate need of investment to meet development demands.
