Uisce Éireann is working in partnership with South Dublin County Council to upgrade and improve the wastewater infrastructure in Clonburris to meet current and future demand and support social and economic development. The project represents a significant investment by Uisce Éireann in the delivery of improved, sustainable, high-quality wastewater treatment in Dublin.

The project, which is due to begin in the coming days, involves the construction of a new pump station and sewer pipeline which will provide the required wastewater capacity to meet current and future demand. It will also enable social and economic growth and development in Clonburris and surrounding areas.

“The project reflects Uisce Éireann ongoing commitment to the efficient delivery of critical infrastructure to support growth in local communities across Dublin”

The project, which is due for completion in Q4 2023, will be carried out by GMC Utilities on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
