Kinvara Sewerage Scheme Network

This €5.1 million project was essential in meeting the current and future needs of the many homes and businesses in Kinvara and the town's thriving tourist industry. 

It involved the building of a new wastewater treatment plant and upgrades to the Kinvara wastewater collection network. Kinvara was one of 44 locations in Ireland where untreated wastewater was discharged directly into the sea and the opening of this new plant has put an end to this harmful practice.

These works have improved the water quality at bathing waters in Kinvara Bay. This includes the ability of the plant to cater for population and economic growth in the area while allowing for increased tourist numbers during peak season.
