New Co Roscommon Water Treatment Plant Complete
A new "interim" water treatment plant has been completed in Castlerea, Co Roscommon, which could see more than 6,000 households have their boil-water notices lifted.
The plant is one of a number of 'capitol projects' being carried out by the company across Ireland, and includes drainage schemes, water main replacements and upgrades.
The new plant is understood to have been completed in January, but is waiting for final quality checks to be carried out by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
A further 89 capitol projects are currently underway and expected to be completed between this month and 2017.
