Glanmire Bridge Wastewater Pump Station Upgrade
Uisce Éireann Growth and Development Programme
Uisce Éireann has upgraded the Wastewater infrastructure in Glanmire to support future growth and development in the area.
Uisce Éireann has completed the upgrade to the wastewater pumping station (WWPS) near Glanmire Bridge, which now caters for the future growth and development of the wider Glanmire area. These works were carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme and the works were completed in July 2025.
The section of works took place at the existing pump station site which was accessed from the East Cliff Road adjacent to the Glashaboy Estuary.
This project was delivered to support existing and future developments within the community. It now improves the capacity of the existing wastewater network in the area, improves performance and reduces demands on the current network.
