Drogheda Wastewater Improvement Project

Uisce Éireann has completed a project to upgrade the wastewater network at Greenhills, Drogheda, Co. Louth to support social and economic growth.

The works involved the installation of 250 meters of new sewerage pipes as part of a project to improve the capacity of the existing sewers and operational performance in the area.

These works were carried out as part of Uisce Éireann's Growth and Development Programme. Works involved the replacement and upgrading of the existing sewer network, beginning at Greenhill Villas and terminating at North Strand south of the junction between the Drogheda Road, R167 and the Greenhills R899.

This project was delivered to support existing and future developments within the community. It will improve the capacity of the existing wastewater network in the area, improving performance and reducing demands on the current network.

The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by GMC Utilities Group and were completed in November 2023.

The benefits of these wastewater network works include:

• Supporting social and economic development - This project will facilitate social and economic growth, including planned residential development.
