In normal circumstances the meter will be removed, but the pipework between the water main and the Uisce Éireann stopcock will be left intact. In certain circumstances, the water meter may not be removed.
In the case of a temporary disconnection of a wastewater connection, the service connection of the property will be bunged internally preventing any discharge to the main public sewer.
Disconnection and Reconnection fees apply and are payable in advance of any works. Details of the applicable fees are published on our website.
Once disconnection of a water connection has occurred, Uisce Éireann reserves the right to inspect periodically to ensure that the supply is not being used. Please supply a target Reconnection date. This date must not exceed two years, otherwise you may have to re-apply for a New Connection.
The pipework between the water main and the Uisce Éireann stopcock, as well as the stopcock and meter assembly itself, will be removed. In the case of a permanent disconnection of a wastewater connection, the service connection of the property will be removed from the public sewer and the public sewer pipe fully sealed at this location.
Permanent disconnections may involve excavation works. In the event such works are required within the curtilage of the property, when carrying out reinstatement, resurfacing or making good works, Uisce Éireann will reinstate, resurface and make good as far as is reasonable on a like for like basis.
However, in carrying out reinstatement, resurfacing and making good works an exact match to the surface that was in place prior to the works cannot be guaranteed and Uisce Éireann will only reinstate, resurface or make good the surface area that has been directly excavated as part of the works. Should you wish to re-establish the connection, you must apply for a new connection. Details of how to apply for a new connection are available here.
