139 Millionen Euro werden in den Bau einer Kläranlage in Irland investiert

139 Millionen Euro kostete der Bau von ArklowKläranlageProjekt in Wicklow County wurde offiziell gestartet. Nach der Fertigstellung wird es keine unbehandelten Abwässer mehr in den Avoca River einleiten und erhebliche Vorteile für den Umweltschutz und die Verbesserung der Qualität des Avoca River - bringen, was Fischfang, Wassersport und Meereslebewesen förderlich ist.

The Arklow sewage treatment plant project was first proposed in 1988 and stalled due to fierce differences among citizens over site selection. The project aims to provide sewage treatment capacity equivalent to up to 36000 people for the old wallboard factory site in ferrybank in the town; Two intercepted sewage pipelines (along the north and South docks) deliver untreated wastewater to the plant and a discharge pipe to safely discharge the treated sewage to the Irish sea. Darragh O'Brien, Minister of housing, local government and heritage, said the project would benefit the future development and economic growth of Arklow town and housing.

Brian Sheehan, head of asset delivery of Irish water, said, "since 2014, Irish water has built new sewage treatment infrastructure for 16 towns and villages. Half of the untreated sewage entering Irish waterways has now been eliminated, and we are working to eliminate most of the untreated sewage discharge by 2025." Arklow sewage treatment plant project is undertaken by ward Burke water Co., Ltd. and will be put into use in 2025.
