Both works were suffering from exceedances in pesticides from their catchments and were subject to enforcement notices from NIEA. Killyhevlin WTW was also the subject of customer complaints for taste and odour. At both sites a filter building was constructed comprising of GAC tanks complete with plenum filter floors, clean backwash tank, dirty washwater tanks, plant room and MCC control rooms.
