Cookstown Sewer Network Upgrade

Uisce Éireann is commencing works to deliver an upgrade to the sewer network at Cookstown, Dublin.

Uisce Éireann is progressing works to deliver an upgrade to the Cookstown Sewer Network in Tallaght, Dublin. The works will consist installation of 650m of new gravity sewer on the Belgard and Airton Roads. This area is currently served by overloaded and outdated wastewater infrastructure and therefore a network upgrade is required. 

This project is being delivered to support existing and future developments within the community. It will improve the capacity of the existing wastewater network in the area, improving performance and reducing demands on the current network. GMC Utilities Group Ltd are delivering these works on behalf of Uisce Éireann.
