Anglers and other locals highlighted threat to waterway from ‘unauthorised’ wastewater treatment plant

“This plant does not have an authorisation in place from the EPA. We inspected the plant, a pump station and the discharge point into the Nenagh river. Our inspectors took samples upstream, downstream and of the discharge – and these will be analysed by the [EPA’s] Kilkenny laboratory,” it added.

Uisce Éireann confirmed effluent from the plant would be transported by tanker to Nenagh treatment plant for processing until they have addressed operational issues with the Ballycommon plant.
