Issues Affecting the Quality of Water: Discussion

Mr. Michael O'Leary:

With regard to the November incident and if further works will be required before UV treatment would be compatible with the plant. The answer to that is "Yes". We are currently upgrading the filters, but the sedimentation tank also needs to be upgraded with putting in tube settlers, which enhance the settlement and also the pH correction.
