Uisce Éireann has worked in partnership with Cork City Council on a network extension and upgrade programme that will facilitate social and economic growth, including planned residential development, in the South Docks area of Cork City.

Will customers be affected by the works?

Areas of work will be limited to short sections to minimise impact on customers. Traffic management may be in place during this time by way of a stop go system. Local and emergency traffic will always be maintained.

Working hours for each phase will be agreed as the project proceeds and communicated by way of regular updates. We understand that this type of work can be inconvenient and works crews will make every effort to minimise any disruption these necessary works cause.
