Irish water secures planning approval for work on north side of Cork Lower Harbour
Irish Water has secured planning approval to progress work on the new wastewater treatment network on the north side of Cork Lower Harbour.
The Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project will result in significant improvements to water quality by ending the current practice of the discharge of raw sewage directly into the harbour by 2019.
Irish Water says 20,000 homes and businesses will be connected to the new scheme on completion, so the project is vital in terms of protecting the environment, facilitating economic development and providing for a growing population.
Work is scheduled to commence in Cobh in 2018.
