€2 million has been promised for a brand new wastewater treatment plant in Mullinavat.
A planning application is being lodged with the council for the upgrade that would completely replace the existing system there.
If it gets the go-ahead the proposed plant will be capable of serving a population of 450 people.
Local Councillor Eamon Aylward says it will allow for the local population to grow in future and for businesses considering setting up in the area.
