Works Begin On €21m Upgrade At Macroom Wastewater Treatment Plant

Construction News Image
Works have commenced on a €21 million investment in Macroom Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Once in operation, the modernised wastewater treatment plant will ensure environmental compliance with national and EU regulations. It will also protect water quality in the Sullane River, and support the long-term sustainable growth and development of Macroom.

Uisce Éireann is working in partnership with Cork County Council to complete the project. The works will involve the decommissioning of the existing plant and its associated structures. The construction of a new facility in Macroom will serve a population equivalent of 7700, new inlet works, stormwater tank, biological treatment process, control building and a solar panel farm.

Uisce Éireann’s Infrastructure Delivery Programme Manager, Darran O’Leary said: "Macroom Wastewater Treatment Plant is a crucial piece of infrastructure for West Cork and once the upgrade works have been completed, we will be able to ensure that we can accommodate future growth whilst protecting the environment. The investment is yet another example of Uisce Éireann’s commitment to the delivery of critical infrastructure in order to support local communities across Cork to thrive.

"The project will also incorporate renewable energy to reduce carbon emissions by incorporating a solar array to supply over 10% of the site’s electricity needs.

"The works will be carried out by Glanua and will take about two years to complete with the project set to benefit County Cork for decades to come. We would like to thank the local community for their support and co-operation as we carry out this work."
