Villages wait 36 years for sewage plan

COASTAL villages in Waterford which have lagged behind because of poor infrastructure could be on the verge of a major boost.

A long-awaited sewage scheme for the Seven Villages coastal region is about to get up and again running soon following a commitment from the Department of the Communications, Marine and Natural Resources to the project.

The scheme covers Ardmore, Ballyduff, Cappoquin, Dunmore East, Kilmacthomas, Stradbally and Tallow and was first mooted 36 years ago. But its full delivery has been delayed again and again for a variety of reasons.
