Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project

In 2015, the equivalent of 40,000 wheelie bins of raw sewage was discharged into Cork Harbour every day. We’ve reduced this figure to 20,000 by building a wastewater treatment plant in Shanbally as well as repairing and extending the sewer network to connect more harbour areas to the plant. We’re now halfway towards our goal which is a sewage-free harbour by 2021.
