Galway Bay fm newsroom - Plans have been approved for the upgrade of water treatment facilities in Gort.
The facility currently supplies up to 1.4 million litres of treated water per day to the local area.
The development led by Irish Water will include the provision of a weatherproof enclosure for an existing unit.
It will also involve all associated site development works, the provision of a temporary contractor's area and all necessary ancillary pipework.
