Sewage upgrade to facilitate housing in East Cork

Thousands of homes, along with new town, planned for East Cork

Irish Water has announced multimillion-euro plans to upgrade a sewage treatment system in Cork which will facilitate the building of thousands of new homes.

The utility is to upgrade capacity at the sewage treatment system in the greater Midleton area. This will allow for more house construction and the building of a new town planned for Waterrock, between Midleton and Carrigtwohill.
