Mohill and Manorhamilton Wastewater Treatment Plants Upgrades

Wastewater Project

Uisce Éireann has completed works as part of a €3.7 million investment to upgrade the Mohill and Manorhamilton Wastewater Treatment Plants.

Uisce Éireann working in partnership with Leitrim County Council has completed works as part of the upgrade to both the Mohill and Manorhamilton Wastewater Treatment Plants. Both plants were constructed approximately 30 years ago and as a result of the upgrade works the capacity of both plants has been increased.

The works carried out will now ensure that both plants are compliant with EU Urban Wastewater Directives. The works were carried out by Coffey Water Limited working on behalf of Uisce Éireann and took approximately 18 months to complete.
