Northern Ireland Water (NI Water) is investing £1.8m in north Armagh by providing a new Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW) with increased treatment capability. Work will soon commence on the new Annaghmore WwTW, which will replace an older unit that dates back to the 1970s. The new treatment facility, which is expected to be complete by spring 2010, will effectively meet increasing demand and growth in the area.
David Hilary, Head of Wastewater Procurement at Northern Ireland Water said:
“The benefits of the new WwTW are multi-faceted. The new facility will provide an improved wastewater treatment facility in the Annaghmore area and as a result will have a positive impact on water quality in nearby waterways. This new plant will enable NI Water to fully comply with the standards required by the European Union and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency. Added to this, the works will have the capacity to deal with potential population growth in the area.
The project is one of many currently being undertaken by NI Water across Northern Ireland, from large cities to smaller rural communities. Northern Ireland Water’s new £10 million Wastewater Treatment Works at Downpatrick is 26 weeks ahead of schedule. The work is now due for completion in December 2009. The project has been designed to ensure current service provision to a population of just under 30,000 is maintained at all times.
