Development is underway of a £10 million programme of work at Belfast Wastewater Treatment Works, Duncrue, to construct two new treatment tanks.
These tanks are equivalent in volume to six Olympic-size swimming pools – to cope with current and short-term future wastewater requirements.
This major investment will protect the environment, support development and aid economic growth in the city.
The two new treatment tanks will provide much-needed additional capacity and enhance the existing process to ensure that the discharge to Belfast Lough remains compliant with Northern Ireland Environment Agency standards.
The new assets will also facilitate essential improvements within the associated sewerage networks and will enable maintenance works to be undertaken at the other treatment tanks at a future date.
