Contractor Roadbridge and the EPS Group are making significant progress on the €9 million Belmullet Sewerage Scheme in Co Mayo for Irish Water.
The project, which commenced in June of this year, is ahead of schedule and when completed will remove Belmullet from the list of 44 towns nationally where wastewater is discharged untreated.
50% of the pipeline construction works are completed and preparatory work has also been completed on the wastewater treatment plant site to allow for the first concrete pour to take place this week.
The project is on target to be completed inside the 18 month timeline that was originally outlined.
Colm Claffey, Wastewater Programme Regional Lead, said: "Irish Water expects pipeline construction work to be completed in April 2017 and acknowledges the co-operation of local residents and business owners while works are being carried out. We are especially pleased that Broadhaven and Blacksod Bays which are both Special Areas of Conservation and designated shellfish waters will now be protected from untreated sewerage and their scenic landscape will be preserved."
