Investment to support new homes and future growth in Letterkenny

People living and working in Letterkenny are invited to a community information evening on Wednesday, 18 November, to hear more about an important investment in the town’s water infrastructure.

The event will take place at Letterkenny Community Centre from 5pm to 8pm, giving residents and businesses an opportunity to meet the project team, view the plans, and ask questions.

The project will see approximately 1km of new water main installed along Speers Lane and Main Street as part of Uisce Éireann’s Accelerated Growth Programme. By increasing capacity in the local water network, the investment will help support future housing delivery and the continued sustainable growth of Letterkenny.

Works are scheduled to commence in January 2027, with completion expected in autumn 2027. To help minimise disruption, the works will be carried out at night, with temporary road closures in place along sections of the route overnight.

Uisce Éireann Programme Manager Patricia Lowry explained: “Letterkenny continues to grow, and having the right water infrastructure in place is essential to supporting that growth. This investment will provide additional capacity in the network to help support new housing and future development in the town.

“Before works begin, we want to give the local community an opportunity to meet the project team, find out more about what is planned and ask any questions they may have. We would encourage anyone interested in the project to come along to Letterkenny Community Centre on 18 November between 5pm and 8pm to meet the team.”

Further information on the planned works will be shared ahead of construction commencing.
