Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Meath Country Council, is delighted to announce the completion of major upgrades to the water network, in Stamullen, Co Meath. The delivery of this water project will ensure the future for new and existing residential and commercial development and will help to provide a more reliable water supply to the community.

Works involved the installation of approximately 1.2 kilometres of new modern mains from Cock Hill Road to Silverstream Close. The new main is feeding water into Stadalt pumping station, helping to relieve supply issues on the current network which were impacting homes and businesses.

These works are part of a significant capital investment programme by Uisce Éireann to safeguard the water supply in the area. The works will support existing and future residential and commercial development and will enhance overall performance of the network and help to protect supply. We would like to thank the local community for their patience and cooperation while we completed these necessary works.”

These investment projects help unlock future opportunities for much needed growth and development in the area.”
