€7m upgrade of Bandon water and sewerage begins

Irish Water has announced it’s finally starting work on a €7 million upgrade of sewage treatment and water supply systems in Bandon, Co Cork.

The company made the announcement yesterday, saying the upgrade will aid security of water supply, improve pressure and reduce leakage.

The upgrade of the sewerage network will increase flow capacity, reduce discharges to the Bandon River and aid in alleviating sewer flooding which hit the town recently.
