Uisce Éireann Announces €1.5M Upgrade To Laois Wastewater Treatment Plant

Tuesday, 12 August 2025 15:23

Work on the wastewater treatment plant in Ballyroan will begin this month.

Uisce Éireann is announcing significant works scheduled for Laois over the course of the next year.

The project will see a major upgrade of the Ballyroan wastewater treatment plant, with work set to begin this month.

The upgrade will see the delivery of a new tank, a refurbishment of the current tank, new pumps, and a new operating control panel.

Conway Engineering will be carrying the works, which will also include new pipework and landscaping.

Uisce Éireann says when finished the upgrade will create much greater capacity for future residential growth in the area, and ensure compliance with national and EU regulations.

While the overall cost of the project will total €1,500,000.

The State utility says residents and businesses affected by the works will be directly notified, and service interruptions will be posted on the Irish Water supply and service update page.

Currently, there are no such notifications.
