Bandon braces for €7m water works

One of Cork’s largest towns is bracing for major upheaval after Irish Water confirmed plans to begin a major €7m combined upgrade of its water and sewer network next year.

The utility announced details yesterday of the Bandon Watermain and Sewer Network Project which will begin construction in the second half of 2016.

The project is a merger of the previously named Bandon sewerage collection scheme and the new Bandon watermain rehabilitation project.
