Irish Water and Fingal County Council are to carry out essential restoration works at South Beach in Rush following damage caused by storms last year.
The works will begin next week, on Monday February 15 and will be completed within a two week period.
The work will be completed by Jon’s Civil Engineering limited and it will be done in line with current government and HSE COVID guidelines.
The works area will be shut off for a fortnight and signs will be put up in the area to inform the public.
In 2018 Irish Water completed works to ensure all wastewater from Rush is collected and treated before it is released back into the environment.
The €9.7 million investment has prevented the discharge of the equivalent of 8,300 wheelie bins of raw sewage per day into the sea which has majorly improved bathing water quality.
Peter Kehoe from Irish Water said: “The Rush wastewater collection project has brought benefits to the local community in terms of safeguarding the environment and social and economic development.
“The reinstatement works will be carried out as quickly and as safely as possible and measures will be taken to minimise any impact on beach users.”
Irish Water is working with Local Authority partners and contractors to safeguard the health and well-being of the public, and to ensure the drinking water remains hygienic.
