Mitchelstown and Rathcormac Waste Water Treatment Plants have been identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for failing to meet EU treatment standards in 2025. Both locations have been highlighted in the EPA’s ‘Ubran Wastewater Treatment in 2025’ report.
Both locations failed the secondary treatment standards in 2025 and, as of July 2026, both Mitchelstown and Rathcormac are included on the EPA’s Priority Areas list.
For Mitchelstown, it is included due to the need to improve the operation of the treatment plant, for which a completion date is required from Uisce Éireann.
