The 13 million euro upgrade of Athenry Sewerage Scheme has been completed.
Uisce Eireann says the investment will reinforce and future-proof the town’s wastewater network for population expansion and economic growth.
The project involved extensive upgrades to the network infrastructure, reducing the risk of sewer flooding and addressing non-compliant sewer overflows into the River Clarin.
Cairde an Chláir, an association of local angling groups says the elimination of non-compliant sewer overflow into the Clarin will be beneficial to the long-term health of the river and its fish stocks.
