*Ballyglass, Ardnacrusha. 

SEWERAGE ISSUES in housing estates in Ardnacrusha and Meelick are to be addressed.

€5,466,825 in funding has been confirmed under the Multi-Annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme.

Glen Abhainn in Meelick will benefit from €199,425; whilst the Ardnacrusha estates of Ballyglass, Castlebank, Lackyle Heights, Keelgrove and Parkroe Heights will share €5,267,400.

Work at Glen Abhainn can commence immediately while Ardnacrusha is likely to follow suit thereafter.

Clare TD, Cathal Crowe (FF) who is a native of Meelick stated, “This funding will play a significant role in addressing historic sewerage issues plaguing the residents of these estates at long last”.

He explained, “When first built, these estates were all on a ‘package sewage treatment plant’ built by a developer more than 20 years ago. That developer has, of course, long gone and in the years that have passed, maintenance issues have cropped up that need to be addressed, and in the process of all this, residents have faced malodours and other related issues”.

Deputy Crowe added, “This funding will now ensure that Uisce Éireann (formerly Irish Water) will be the body responsible for the upkeep of the sewerage infrastructure here, thereby ending these issues. I’m confident that this will be of significant relief to the residents of these estates”.
