Works to end the discharge of raw sewage into the River Fergus and Shannon Estuary are underway.
Irish Water this week began construction on the Clarecastle Sewerage Scheme, which they hope will be finished by the middle of next year.
The project involves the installation of a new underground infrastructure at the site of the existing Quay Road Pump Station.
A new rising main pipeline is also being constructed along Quay Road, Barrack Street and the Ennis Road that will transfer sewage from the Pumping Station for treatment at the existing Clareabbey Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Irish Water says that once operational, this infrastructure will ensure compliance with wastewater discharge regulations and will also improve water quality in the River Fergus and Shannon Estuary.
