Ireland Opens Wastewater Project

NI Water has opened a £23m ($35.6m) wastewater project in Antrim, Ireland.

The project will benefit about 87,000 people in the county of Antrim, including parts of Crumlin, Randalstown and Templepatrick.

The project is part of Irish water utility NI Water’s £490m ($760.5m), three-year investment programme in North Ireland.

The project includes a new pumping station in Antrim and the closure of combined sewer overflows, which will provide protection to the sensitive Six Mile Water River.

The project will ensure that the treatment of wastewater will conform to the latest Environment Agency standards, according to nce.co.uk.
