Raw sewage continues to be discharged into Lough Foyle at Moville every day: EPA

The Environmental Protection Agency says raw sewage is still discharged into Lough Foyle every day because Moville’s public sewer is not connected to a wastewater treatment plant. Its mid-2026 report lists the town among 11 locations releasing untreated effluent. Moville was the only large urban area without wastewater treatment, while Uisce Éireann has indicated that corrective works could be completed by 2030.
