Dairygold is set to invest €4million to upgrade its internal waste-water treatment plant (WWTP) at its Mallow facility, designed to finally eliminate what have in the past been described as putrid smells emanating from the West End facility.
Back in the summer of 2017 issues arose regarding the Dairygold site after Cork County Council raised the issue of foul odours emanating from the plant with the Environmental Protection Agency following several complaints from the public and local representatives.
Dairygold subsequently said that, following a visit to the plant, the EPA acknowledged that there was considerable work completed and acknowledged our commitment to pro-actively pursuing further works in order to improve the situation further .
