Pollution fears at lake as €1m sewerage plan delayed again

Further delays in carrying out a long-awaited extension to Killarney’s sewerage network could exacerbate pollution problems in Kerry’s world-famous lakes.

A planned €1m extension of the public sewerage scheme to the scenic Aghadoe area will not commence for several years, Kerry County Council has advised.

The area has experienced a large increase in residential development in recent years, mainly serviced by septic tanks.
