Your Connection Guide

We take you through the connection application process for water and wastewater.

COVID-19

In line with the current Government, HSE and Public Health Ireland guidelines, we can receive and process enquiries, applications and payments in postal and electronic format currently. Unfortunately, our on-site Inspection facility for housing developments and our ability to deliver connections are temporarily unavailable during this phase of the COVID-19 restrictions. In the event of an emergency situation requiring a connection like a HSE facility, please contact us directly and we will arrange to facilitate the request. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused as a result of this temporary suspension.
