Lismore wastewater network to undergo additional upgrades

Information below is relevant until further updates are provided here or on our Supply and Service Updates section

Uisce Éireann is continuing its work to upgrade the wastewater network in Lismore. Recent works have identified additional areas of the wastewater network that require further attention. To address these, a follow-on phase of work will begin this week and continue until the end of September.

As part of these works, several storm gulleys will be connected into the new storm sewer, two manholes will be replaced, and approximately 205 metres of new storm sewer will be installed.

The works will take place from the entrance of the hotel carpark down to the water fountain feature.

David Shalloo, Portfolio Manager with Uisce Éireann said: “These additional works are a necessary step in strengthening the wastewater network in Lismore and ensuring its long-term reliability. We’re committed to delivering these upgrades as efficiently as possible while minimising disruption for the local community. We appreciate everyone’s continued patience and cooperation as we carry out this important phase of work.”

To facilitate the safe and efficient delivery of these works, traffic management will be in place in the form of a stop/go system, and emergency access will be maintained at all times.

Upon completion, Waterford County Council will carry out reinstatement works on the affected section of the N72 road.

The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge.
