Uisce Éireann is undertaking an upgrade to separate the combined underground piping system in Thurles. Currently, the mix of raw sewage and storm water can overwhelm the treatment plant, resulting in releases into the River Suir and street flooding. The company is preparing a planning application for a project involving the construction and upgrade of sewers and pumping stations, with construction expected to begin in 2028 if there are no delays.
