Boost for Ballaghaderreen as Major Wastewater Upgrade Begins
Residents of Ballaghaderreen are set to enjoy substantial improvements following the launch of a €3.8 million project designed to upgrade the town's wastewater treatment plant. This critical infrastructure initiative, executed by Uisce Éireann, seeks to bolster the system's performance and durability while ensuring robust protection for the surrounding natural environment.
The scope of work involves several key enhancements, including the construction of a new storm tank, modernisation of the treatment process itself, upgrades to pumping systems, and advanced improvements to monitoring and control mechanisms. Collectively, these measures will significantly increase the reliability and efficiency of the facility, ensuring continued safeguarding of local waterways.
David Sharry, Programme Manager at Uisce Éireann, expressed delight at the commencement of this vital investment. He noted that the project will not only strengthen the town's infrastructure but also demonstrate a firm commitment to sustainable services for the community. Residents and businesses are thanked for their patience during these essential works.
Conway Engineering has been appointed to carry out the upgrade on behalf of Uisce Éireann, with completion anticipated in Autumn 2027. Uisce Éireann remains dedicated to enhancing critical infrastructure across Ireland to support sustainable development and provide safe drinking water.
