Deeper Water Location Urged for Roundstone s Waste Water Treatment Plant
16th March 2021
Roundstone Harbour in County Galway - the town s existing sewerage scheme dates from 1929 and discharges raw wastewater directly into the sea at three locations.
Irish Water has defended its location of a new wastewater treatment for the Connemara village of Roundstone amid local fears it will perpetuate pollution of the inner bay.
