Hi corkcobh,

The Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project is required to significantly enhance the water quality in Cork Harbour. Currently, wastewater from Cobh, Carrigaline, Passage West/Monkstown and Ringaskiddy is discharged untreated into the Harbour.

The Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project consists of:

- A new Wastewater Treatment Plant

- 14 new pumping stations

- Approximately 30km of new sewers

- A drilled crossing under the estuary

Currently, site Investigation to support the detailed design of the Cobh network is continuing and it is planned that construction of the Cobh network will commence in mid 2018 and will last for approximately 24 months. As part of the Cobh Network works, a pipeline will be laid in the roadway through Pebble beach.

The works in Pebble Beach will be scheduled once the detailed design of the network is completed. I would like to assure you that Irish Water, and its Contractors will liaise with the local area staff of the Cork County Council, the Gardai, local industry, schools, businesses and local residents to minimize the impacts of the works. Lands will be reinstated ( i.e. returned to their previous state), and Irish Water will ensure that the Contractors comply with this commitment through liaison with the Local Authority.

Furthermore, Irish Water, and its Contractors, will liaise closely with the community before and during construction to ensure a constant flow of information, and to ensure that local considerations are taken into account, such as in developing the traffic management plan, for example.

We hope this information helps.

If you have any further queries, please let us know.

Kind regards,
Louise
