Leixlip Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade

Wastewater Project

This €23.3 million project will almost double the capacity of the existing Leixlip Wastewater Treatment Plant and will ensure water in the Lower Liffey Valley meets EPA standards.

Leixlip is one of Ireland's fastest growing towns and it requires a sewerage scheme and upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment plant to cater for its expanding population and locally-based commercial activities. This scheme will protect the local environment, improve water quality and help secure jobs in the area, including those at Intel, which employs approx. 4,500 people.
