The project will benefit the local community and its surroundings, protecting the water quality in the Lower Shannon, and recreational waters for fishing and boating activities
A MULTIMILLION-EURO investment by Uisce Éireann has seen works begin on the local wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Castletroy.
The investment marks a significant step forward and holds great promise for population growth while unlocking new opportunities for future economic development in the area.
This project will bring several benefits straight to the local community and its surroundings, alongside enabling growth for the area. It will improve the health and integrity of the environment, protect the water quality in the Lower Shannon, and conservation habitats. The project will also protect recreational waters for fishing and boating activities and ensure compliance with Irish and EU legislation.

Programme Manager, Angus Hall, celebrated this news, saying: “Enabling Ireland’s growth and development is one of Uisce Éireann’s key priorities, so delivering this vital infrastructure project is great news. By increasing the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant by 70%, we are ensuring that the town of Castletroy, adjacent to Limerick City, can continue to thrive and expand sustainably and we are proud to grow alongside it.”
This project will involve the construction of a new stormwater storage tank, installation of new primary treatment filters and lifting pumps, construction of a new primary sludge holding tank, and an upgrade to secondary treatment tanks.
Coffey Construction (Ireland) Ltd is carrying out these works on behalf of Uisce Éireann, and works are due to be completed in 2028.
