Large scale water treatment plant in Dungarvan is appealed
The development received a significant number of objections from concerned locals.
A major water treatment plant in Dungarvan, which was approved for construction by Waterford City and County Council, has now been appealed to An Bord Pleanála.
The development consists of a new water treatment plant located in the townland of Ballynamuck West, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford.
The plans include a new raw water tank, new used wash water equalisation storage tanks, a new contact tank and a storage reservoir.
Also planned is a new process building with solar panels on the roof, a new administration building, new pumphouse building, external area for chemical storage tanks, a new ESB substation building, a new generator and fuel storage tank.
The site will be contained within a 2.4 metre high palisade fence and a security gate.
The development received a significant number of objections from concerned locals. Residents living in the area cited its scale, noise levels and construction traffic as being problematic.
The case is due to be decided by February 10, 2025.
