Planning sought for new water treatment plant in Roscommon

Planning permission is being sought for the construction of a new waste water treatment plant in Roscommon.

Uisce Eireann is seeking the works at the facility at Killoy in Lecarrow. Plans include the demolition of the existing wastewater treatment plant and the construction of a new plant. The new plant would feature a forward feed pump sump to incorporate storm water storage as well as a high level overflow and static screen, primary septic tank, final settlement tank and sludge return system. The application also seeks a new electrical control panel and all ancillary site works.

County planners will decide on the issue in April.
