Glan Agua  and MEIC commenced site activities in Castletownbere on the 22nd of February 2021, and are delighted to announce that the project has commenced process proving. This marks the end of untreated sewage entering Bantry Bay. The new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Drom South has the ability to serve a population equivalent of 2,200 people. Irish building magazine’s article on the project can be viewed here: bit.ly/3oXCCGj

In addition to the construction of the new WWTP, the works involved the construction of sewer rising mains, gravity mains, 4 new pumping stations throughout Castletownbere to bring untreated wastewater to the new WWTP.

Well done to the team in Glan Agua and MEIC on the delivery of the project within the programme duration. Thanks again to the local community of Castletownbere who fully embraced the project and worked collaboratively with us in terms of the project delivery.

Glan Agua look forward to operating the facility for Irish Water in 2022.
