Galway Bay fm newsroom – Milltown’s new wastewater treatment plant has been being officially opened.
Construction began last year following a €5m investment by Irish Water in Wastewater Treatment Schemes for Milltown and Claregalway.
The works involve the provision of four new pumping stations, the upgrade of three existing pumping stations and the connection of housing estates to the new sewer collection system.
Previously, both areas relied on individual treatment systems within housing developments, and septic tanks.
OPW Minister and Galway East TD Sean Canney officiated at the opening earlier today and says it marks an important milestone following a long campaign.
