Construction News Image
Uisce Éireann has announced the completion of a new €7 million wastewater pump station located on the former Dunlop site in Ferrybank, Waterford.

The increased capacity of the new pumping station will enable social and economic growth and development in the region. The state-of-the-art wastewater pumping station will also reduce the risk of sewer overflow within the catchment, improve the separation of foul and surface water networks, enhance the water quality of the River Suir through improved foul water storage and reduced overflows, and ensure compliance with the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directives.

Located adjacent to the North Quays Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) and part funded by Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government’s Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), NTA and Waterford City and County Council, the new pump station is crucial to clearing the way for potential development and investment in a site which has been derelict for decades.

Uisce Éireann's Programme Manager Lisa Cogan stated: "We are very pleased to reach completion on this essential wastewater project in Waterford. The construction of the pumping station and new wastewater pipes is key to the transformative North Quays project and will ensure wastewater infrastructure can meet future demand and support social and economic development in the Ferrybank area."
