A major upgrade of Lecarrow Wastewater Treatment Plant has been given the go-ahead by Roscommon County Council.
Uisce Éireann has been granted planning permission for the upgrade at Killoy, Lecarrow.
The works will involve the demolition of the existing wastewater treatment plant and the construction of a new plant.
Announced in 2021 by Uisce Éireann, formerly Irish Water, the Lecarrow investment is among 21 new upgrades at treatment plants around the country.
The state-owned utility company said the upgrades would provide additional capacity for the development of new homes while ensuring that wastewater continues to be treated to an appropriate standard.
