First of two pipes installed underneath estuary between Cobh Dockyard and Monkstown as part of Cork Lower Harbour Project
Another major milestone for Cork Lower Harbour Irish
Water, in partnership with Cork County Council, is working to end the decades-long practice of discharging raw sewage directly into Cork Lower Harbour with the Cork Lower Harbour Main Drainage Project. Irish Water this week completed the installation of the first of two sewer pipes extending for over 1km under the Estuary between Cobh and Monkstown - the longest such directional drill in Ireland. This was a significant engineering feat that involved feeding 1.3km of pipe along Laurel Hill and the Glen Road to the point where the pipe goes underground near Monkstown playground and under the Estuary to Cobh. We would like to thank the local community for their patience and support as we carried out this unique operation.
