All EPA Priority Urban Areas

This dataset shows the urban areas that are on the EPA’s priority list because they fall under one or more of the following criteria: Failing to meet EU sewage treatment standards; discharging raw sewage because there is no treatment plant, key pressure on rivers or lakes, impacting on bathing water, improvement needed to protect Pearl Mussels; or improvement needed to protect Shellfish Waters.



Further information about EPA Priority Urban Areas can be found in the EPA’s Annual Urban Waste Water Report on the EPA website - www.epa.ie.

Statement

The Urban Waste Water Treatment Regulations, 2001 (S.I. No. 254 of 2001) and 2004 (S.I. 440 of 2004), set specific standards to be achieved for waste water treatment plants. In addition, the Regulations set out a mandatory requirement on the water services authority to provide secondary treatment at all agglomerations (towns/cities) with a population equivalent of over 500. An agglomeration is an area where the population and/or economic activities are sufficiently concentrated for urban waste water to be collected and conducted to an urban waste water treatment plant or to a final discharge point. The information is supplied by the Water Services Authority to the EPA on an annual basis. The table attributes contain the plant name, the plant id and EPA reg code if applicable. This dataset shows the agglomerations (towns/cities) with a population equivalent of over 500 where the urban waste water receives no treatment or just basic preliminary treatment.
