Easkey Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade

Uisce Éireann has commenced upgrade works to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in Easkey, County Sligo.

Uisce Éireann has commenced works to upgrade the Easkey Wastewater Treatment Plant. This €1.4 million investment will benefit homes and businesses in Easkey. These works will enable the plant to capture stormwater flows. When completed, this project will improve the performance and reliability of Easkey Wastewater Treatment Plant and support the social and economic development of Easkey.

• Installation of an overflow pipeline and pumps to safely release excess water from the storage tank
• Integration of all interconnecting pipelines, supporting structures, and modern control systems for efficient operation
• Decommissioning of existing stormwater overflow upstream of sludge storage tank

The project is expected to deliver the following benefits:

• New stormwater storage capacity
• Improved efficiency and effective treatment
• Enhanced plant performance and reliability 

Works commenced on site in October 2025. All works are within the site boundary. Local residents may experience an increase in noise levels, and local public roads may experience an increase in construction related traffic throughout the construction phase. This project is expected to continue until late 2026.

Uisce Éireann will endeavour to keep all stakeholders informed as we progress this essential water supply project.
