Uisce Éireann has commenced a major infrastructure project to upgrade the wastewater network in North Drogheda, representing a €22 million investment in the region. The vital project will increase wastewater capacity to support the development of over 5,000 new homes.
Works underway involve the construction of a new wastewater pumping station off Twenties Lane and 2.3km of sewer pipeline. This significant upgrade will enhance the capacity and resilience of the existing wastewater infrastructure, providing more reliable services for current and future residents and businesses.
Uisce Éireann’s Padraic Fitzgerald welcomed the commencement of the project:
“The North Drogheda Wastewater Network Upgrade project will not only address current capacity constraints but will also facilitate planned residential development, helping to unlock housing and economic potential in the area. We are working closely with developers to ensure the infrastructure is in place to support the delivery of much needed new homes for the community.”
The project is being delivered as part of Uisce Éireann’s national Growth and Development Programme and is being carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by GMC Utilities Group Ltd., with completion expected in 2027.
