Westport Sewerage Treatment Plant
Water & Sewerage Service
The policy of Mayo County Council is to improve and extend Water Services in the County. EU and National legislation set down standards for Drinking Water Quality and the Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations stipulate that sewage treatment facilities are in place in all our towns by 2005.
The National Development Plan (2007 – 2013) continues to recognise the need to address the infrastructural deficit in the water services sector and provides funding for the Water Services Investment Programme of Capital Works over the next number of years.
Expansion and improvement of these services is necessary to encourage and facilitate residential, industrial and commercial development in the County. Maintaining a proper balance between protecting and enhancing our environment and economic and sustainable development is a central goal of Mayo County Council.
A number of Capital Sanitary Schemes were successfully completed during 2008 while a number of other schemes were under construction.
