Work is currently underway to upgrade Tempo Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) in county Fermanagh.
NI Water is investing £750,000 to upgrade Tempo Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) in county Fermanagh and replace equipment to bring it into line with Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) standards. This essential programme of work is projected to be completed by Summer 2015.
John Griffin, Senior Project Manager at NI Water commented:
“The work at Tempo Wastewater Treatment Works is good news for customers in the Tempo area, as this investment enables NI Water to replace the ageing mechanical process equipment, which has reached the end of its service life, with a more energy efficient treatment process.
The enhanced facility will increase the capacity for wastewater treatment while meeting all wastewater quality requirements, as well as bringing many environmental benefits, not least improving the water quality in the local rivers and tributaries which flow into Lough Erne.’’
Cookstown-based Enisca Civil Engineering, has been appointed as the contractor for the delivery of the work.
