The completion of a new £3.2m Wastewater Treatment Works will improve wastewater services for the community of Monea, outside Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh. A 2 year project, it will accommodate increased development in the area well into the future, as well as delivering economic and environmental benefits.
The new wastewater solution for the village is a natural, environmentally friendly solution which uses aerated reed beds to treat wastewater effluent to the highest standard.
Martin Armstrong NI Water Project Manager said:
“NI Water is delighted to complete this new natured based wastewater solution for Monea village, which will support future growth and development in the area, as well as providing key environmental benefits such as enhancing the river water quality in the Monea River and Lower Lough Erne.
“We at NI Water are pleased to bring this much-needed investment to the village, providing a modern wastewater facility that will serve the area for many years to come.”
Ciaran Moohan, Contracts Manager at GRAHAM, added:
“It’s fantastic to have supported the delivery of such an important project for NI Water, drawing on our civil engineering team’s extensive experience in delivering sustainable wastewater infrastructure across Northern Ireland.
“Our long-standing relationship with NI Water is built on a shared commitment to quality and environmental responsibility, and this scheme is a strong example of what can be achieved through close collaboration. Together, we’ve delivered a nature-based solution that meets the needs of the local community today and is designed to support future growth.”
GRAHAM was the main contractor for the project with RPS Tetratech providing project management and technical support.
