Castletroy Sewerage Scheme Engineering Consultancy Services (Technical)

Limerick County Council

The agglomeration of Castletroy is located in the southern environs of Limerick City.

Discharge from the plant is to the river Shannon. The river Shannon is designated both a Special Area of Conservation (Lower river Shannon)) and a Special Protected Area (River Shannon and River Fergus estuaries).
