Irish Water is progressing the upgrade to the outfall pipe for the Swords Wastewater Treatment Plant which is part of the overall upgrade works to the Swords Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The latest phase of the project requires an upgrade to the outfall pipe at Broadmeadow Estuary to support the future increased treatment capacity at the Swords Wastewater Treatment Plant and to protect the environment from wastewater pollution.
On Tuesday the water company published confirmation of the Compulsory Purchase Order to acquire the necessary lands to progress with the work.
Irish Water now intends to open a tender competition for a contractor to complete the works which are expected to last for up to a maximum of six months.
Commenting on the announcement, Paul Fallon, Wastewater Infrastructure Manager, at Irish Water said:
“Irish Water is committed to investing in the wastewater treatment infrastructure in Swords to support the needs of this fast growing population. The upgrade to the outfall pipe at Broadmeadow will provide a cleaner environment for the community. The granting of the Compulsory Purchase Order will enable us to continue to progress this project.”
