Irish Water, working in partnership with Clare County Council, will sets out its plans tomorrow for a new sewerage scheme for Clarecastle to end the discharge of untreated wastewater to the River Fergus.
next Wednesday, 16 May, The water company will unveil plans at an information event tomorrow to stop the discharge of the equivalent of 1,600 wheelie bins of untreated wastewater into the River Fergus every day from the public sewer network in Clarecastle.
The plan includes the construction of a new rising main and upgrades to an existing pumping station to take wastewater from Clarecastle to the Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plant where it can be treated before being returned safely to the environment.
Joe Kennedy, Infrastructure Regional Lead commented:
“The provision of a new sewerage scheme for Clarecastle will help to improve water quality in the river, enhance of the area’s amenity value and will act as a platform for social and economic development. The project will also help ensure that the water quality standards set out in relevant legislation will be achieved.”
The proposed scheme will involve the design and construction of new pumps and associated equipment at the Quay Road Pumping Station and the installation of 1.9km of new rising main to transfer sewage from the pumping station to the Clareabbey treatment plant.
The project is expected to get underway with site investigation works in the coming months. Following the appointment of a contractor, the main construction work is expected to get underway in Spring 2019 and will take about six to nine months to complete.
