Essential upgrades to be carried out on Dingle's wastewater infrastructure

Uisce Éireann is commencing works to upgrade the wastewater infrastructure in one of Ireland’s most idyllic seaside towns, Dingle.

The works are due to commence next week and will involve upgrades to the Dingle Bypass Road wastewater pumping station (WWPS). This project will help maintain and enhance Dingle's wastewater infrastructure, improving safety and supporting reliable wastewater services for the community.

Uisce Éireann Programme Manager, James McKenzie is pleased to be delivering these works for the community in west Kerry. “This project will provide vital upgrades to the operation of wastewater infrastructure in the heart of Dingle. In addition to supporting service improvements across the wastewater network, this project will enhance safety standards and extend the asset’s life for years to come.”

The works will be carried out at the WWPS station site, directly adjacent to Garvey’s Supervalu carpark in Dingle Town. To safely and efficiently deliver these works, temporary hoarding will be installed in the area to ensure a safe and secure site, while also acting as a visual screen. Standard working hours are 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday.

Ward and Burke Construction Ltd. is delivering this work on behalf of Uisce Éireann, with completion of this phase of the project expected in early 2027.
