A landmark project for Uisce Éireann to overhaul Athenry’s wastewater infrastructure is nearing completion as the project reaches its final stages.
Due for completion in the Autumn, the €13 million Athenry Sewerage Scheme Network Upgrade will deliver a plethora of benefits for the local community.
Uisce Éireann’s Programme Manager Colm Claffey noted that the project will address non-compliant overflows into the River Clarin and sewer flooding in the town, whilst also enhancing the overall capacity and operational efficiency of the town's sewer system.
“This new wastewater infrastructure will meet the needs of homes and businesses, while providing capacity for current and future growth and development in Athenry,” he said.
The upgrade has made significant progress with extensive upgrades spanning over four kilometres of pipeline across key locations in Athenry.
All works have been completed, save the final permanent road surfacing which will be completed over the summer months to minimise disruptions.
The vital project streamlines the collection and transportation of sewage for treatment, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. Additionally, a new pumping station at Pairc na hAbhainn has been built, commissioned, and connected to the existing wastewater treatment plant.
