Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Donegal County Council, are progressing works in Buncrana as part of a €31 million investment to upgrade the wastewater infrastructure in Buncrana, Ballybofey and Stranorlar.
The sewerage scheme will result in significant improvements to water quality in Lough Swilly and the River Finn by eliminating stormwater overflows, safeguarding the environment and supporting social and economic development.
The sewerage scheme is a significant development for the towns of Buncrana, Ballybofey and Stranorlar, which will see knock-on benefits to the local natural environment of Lough Swilly and the River Finn, as well as supporting the social and economic development of the towns.
The next phase of works includes a water main diversion to allow for new sewer construction and increase capacity, allowing for current and future population growth of the town. The works will also include the decommissioning of two existing storm overflows which will improve water quality in the River Finn ensuring compliance with Urban Wastewater Treatment Regulations 2001 and the EPA Wastewater Discharge Licencing.
Ward & Burke Water Limited are carrying out the works on behalf the Council and of Uisce Éireann.
