Wastewater Treatment Works opens in Fermanagh
A £4 million Wastewater Treatment Works which is designed to cope with population growth and development in Co Fermanagh has been officially opened.
Minister of State, John Spellar, said the new works, located at Lisnaskea, would supply the area "with modern treatment facilities that will ensure compliance with demanding European Union environmental standards".
The Lisnaskea Wastewater Treatment Works is part of a much larger investment programme, required to bring the water and sewerage infrastructure up to modern standards.
Visiting the major £2.9 million sewerage scheme in Enniskillen, the Minister said: "I am delighted to see work progressing on schedule on this important scheme. It is the second stage of a project that will significantly improve the current sewerage system and will provide Enniskillen with the modern infrastructure required to protect water quality in Lough Erne and provide for the present and future development needs of the town.
"Both the Enniskillen Sewerage Scheme and the new Lisnaskea Wastewater Treatment Works are visible signs of our commitment to provide high quality, modern water and sewerage services in Northern Ireland.
"In total, over the three year period to 2006, Water Service plans to invest £590 million on over 300 projects to upgrade water and sewerage services. This investment will bring benefits to customers and the environment right across Northern Ireland."
In addition, a major £270 million Public Private Partnership programme to upgrade a number of large water and wastewater facilities will also be taken forward over the next five years.
Work on the second stage of the Enniskillen Sewerage Scheme will take place at six locations and is programmed for completion in July 2005. The first stage was completed in during 2001 at a cost of £500,000.
