Urban Waste Water Agglomerations Failing to meet EU Sewage Treatment Standards
This dataset lists urban areas (agglomerations) in Ireland that failed to comply with one or more requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive's sewage treatment standards. It is published via data.gov.ie, drawing on monitoring carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Further context on non-compliant areas and on the Directive's requirements is available in the EPA's Annual Urban Waste Water Report, published on the EPA website. The dataset provides a national overview of wastewater treatment compliance across Irish urban agglomerations.This shows all urban areas that failed to comply with one or more of the EU sewage treatment standards. Further information about urban areas failing to meet EU sewage treatment standards and information on the Directive can be found in the EPA’s Annual Urban Waste Water Report on the EPA website...
