Uisce Éireann has announced that Quay Street Pumping Station is on track to be completed in the coming months.

GMC Utilities has been appointed to complete the project which is part of a plan to improve the wastewater infrastructure in the wider Balbriggan and Stamullen area.

Works include upgrading the existing pump station and storm tanks, located underneath Quay Street Car Park, as well as upgrades to the ventilation and odour control facilities.

Uisce Éireann's Padraig Hanly said:

"We are looking forward to completing this essential wastewater project for the Balbriggan and Stamullen areas. When completed, the upgraded pump station and wastewater network will support future growth and development as well as supporting the enhancement of the local environment."

"We are also progressing a Drainage Area Plan (DAP) for Balbriggan which will allow us to understand what impact the network is having on receiving waters, to prioritise investment to where it is most needed, and to design the necessary upgrades."

In order to safely facilitate the final phase of works, Quay Street car park, south of the canal, will remain closed. Alternative car parking will continue to be available by Fingal County Council at Bath Road and Bremore Castle. To ensure the safety of crews and the public, temporary traffic management will remain in place on Quay Street between the car park and control building.
