Killaloe and Ballina

Irish Water outfall installation works

21 August to 30 September 2023

Waterways Ireland wishes to advise Masters of Vessels and users of the Shannon Navigation that Irish Water will be installing an outfall downstream of Killaloe and Ballina from 21 August to 30 September 2023.

A Work barge will be launched from the carpark adjacent to the Waterways Ireland building in Killaloe and will operate south of the bridge adjacent to the Ballina Waste- water treatment plant for the duration of the works.

The outfall will extend from the Ballina Waste-Water Treatment plant into the river for a distance of 90 metres.

Two temporary special markers will be installed to mark the limits of the in-river works area downstream of Killaloe and Ballina. A permanent navigation marker will be installed when the works are completed.

Masters of Vessels should proceed with additional caution in the vicinity of the works.

Waterways Ireland thanks its customers for their understanding in relation to this matter.
