Irish Water insists Clare insists its on track to end the discharge of raw sewage in Clare.
The latest report from the Environmental Protection Agency highlights five areas in the county where raw sewage is still being released into the environment every day – including Clarecastle, Kilrush, Liscannor, Kilkee and Ballyvaughan.
In response to the report, Irish Water says there’s new infrastructure in Clarecastle, Kilrush, Kilfenora, Clareabbey, and Liscannor and plans are also progressing for projects in Ballyvaughan, Newmarket on Fergus, Kilkee, Clareabbey, Clonroadmore, and Lahinch-Ennistymon.
The utility says Clare communities are seeing the benefits from the highest ever annual investment in wastewater treatment last year, when €367m was spent on improvements.
