A €13 million upgrade to the sewer network in Athenry is in its final stages, and is due to be completed this Autumn.
The upgrade works have spanned over four kilometres of pipeline across key locations in Athenry, including L3103 (Raheen Woods Road), Gort Mhaoillir, Court Lane, Caheroyne Road and Bridge St among others.
All works have been completed, save the completion of permanent road surfacing. These final works will be completed over the summer months to minimise disruptions.
Additionally, a new pumping station at Pairc na hAbhainn has been built, commissioned, and connected to the existing wastewater treatment plant.
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.
Coffey Construction Ltd is delivering the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann and we will continue to update the local community in Athenry as this project nears completion.
