Uisce Éireann upgrades to wastewater network in Tramore will facilitate future growth and development

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

The community of Tramore can look forward to an upgraded wastewater network in the town as Uisce Éireann undertakes work that will deliver greater reliability and improvements to the wastewater infrastructure. The critical upgrades to almost 1km of the existing wastewater network from An Gurruan Wastewater Pumping Station to along the R675 will help facilitate future growth and development in the area.    

The works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann's Wastewater Below Ground Programme and are expected to be complete by the end of 2025.

Commenting on the Project, Mark Mc Kenna, Project Manager at Uisce Éireann, said, "This key project will help support Tramore’s future development. The upgrade will deliver a reliable, sustainable, high-quality service to the people of Tramore. We would like to thank the community in advance for their cooperation and patience while we complete these necessary upgrades."

Sections of work will commence at the existing An Garruan Wastewater Pumping Station, where the network will cross Riverstown Business Park Road at McCarthys Hardware. The network will then follow the route of The Estuary Road in the grass verge and connect to a previously upgraded section of network at the Dunes / Estuary interaction. The upgrade works will recommence into the scrub land at the Strand / Estuary interaction and continue across the R675.

To facilitate the safe delivery of these works, a traffic management plan, in the form of a stop/go system, will be in place. Local and emergency access will always be maintained. Works along the R675 road will start after the summer to minimise traffic disruption during the busy tourism season.

Shareridge will be carrying out the works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
