Networks Collaboration Forum

A collection of 52 individual and national programmes that will:

  • Predominantly address the business plan leakage reduction target of 47% to 38% in 2021.
  • The prioritisation and completion of water main rehabilitation, including pressure management works and all ancillary water network capital apparatus.
  • Targeting leakage reduction, including the first fix and find and fix programme.
  • Deliver the National Lead Programme that will address the common and individual lead pipe services.

Collaborative Forum

The Leak Reduction Programme is being rolled out nationally through 8 regions with regional contractors appointed for delivery of the programme. Uisce Éireann has established a Collaborative Forum with these LRP Contractors. The group meets quarterly to review and appraise HSQE performance on the programme.

It is expected that establishment of the forum will lead to:

  • A mechanism for continuous improvement in health and safety standards on the WNM Programme.
  • Ensuring an efficient means of processing agreed changes to ways of working
  • Identify programme wide constraints and provide a means to introduce improvements where required.
  • Identify where best practice is already in place and ensure that this best practice is implemented across the Programme.
