The East Meath Sewerage Scheme involves the construction of a sewage pipeline c. 20km in length running through areas of land in Mornington, Donacarney, Bettystown, Betaghstown, Laytown and Julianstown to service existing and future residential housing. The scheme also involves amendments to the existing pipeline and modifications to six existing pumping stations along the route.

Monitoring commenced on site in July 2001 and will continue until December 2002. To date nothing of archaeological significance has been discovered.
