The Mayors of Ennis and Clare have welcomed the announcement by Phil Hogan, Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, regarding the approval of the Clonroadmore elements of the Preliminary Report Addendum for the Ennis/Clarecastle Sewerage Scheme.
Clare County Council has received confirmation from the Department that it is committing the necessary capital funding to enable the local authority to award the contract for the upgrade of the Clonroadmore Wastewater Treatment Plant on the Scheme.
Mayor of Ennis, Councillor Mary Coote Ryan, stated: "The provision of the most modern wastewater treatment facilities is key in terms of the continued progressive development of the town of Ennis. I want to acknowledge the contribution and patience of the Elected Members of the Town Council who have been pursuing an upgrade of the town treatment facilities for a long number of years."
Mayor of Clare, Councillor Joe Arkins, welcomed the news and described the project as "vitally important" and central to ongoing efforts to expand the quality and scale of the wastewater infrastructure in the county.
"The town of Ennis is our Capital town and it is vitally important that the standard of services is what one would expect in a major urban centre. This is a contract of major significance for Ennis, Clarecastle and surrounding areas and will provide for a significant upgrade of Clonroadmore Wastewater Treatment Plant," added Mayor Arkins.
