Uisce Éireann Say Wastewater Treatment Plant In Arklow Will Be Delivered On Schedule

Since the first overturned sod marked the beginning of almost two busy years of construction, approximately 80% of the works to the sewer network have been completed along the North and South quays, with over 1.8 km of new sewers already installed and all tunneling works completed.

Once the sewer network phase of the project has been completed early next year, the works will be confined to the new Arklow Wastewater Treatment Plant site, further reducing disruption in terms of noise and traffic restrictions.

The project will bring significant benefits to this sea-faring town, including environmental protection and improved water quality in the River Avoca for angling, water sports and marine life.

It will also act as a catalyst for housing and support economic growth and development in the town.
