Ardmore Sewerage Scheme

Wastewater Project

This project was delivered as part of a €24 million investment in Waterford and has stopped untreated effluent being discharged into Ardmore Bay. Ardmore village is a popular seaside resort and following the upgrade to the wastewater infrastructure the beach has been awarded Blue Flag. Attaining Blue Flag status is important to the village and the businesses within the village that rely on the tourist trade.
