Growth and Development Programme - Limerick City

Uisce Éireann is upgrading the water infrastructure in Limerick City to support future growth and development in the area. 

This stage of works involves the installation of 1.7 kilometres of water mains to cater for the future growth and development of the wider Limerick City area. These works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development 
Programme and commenced in January 2026.

The works will take place at Corbally, R526 Raheen, and Roxborough Road.

This project is being delivered to support existing and future developments within the community. It will improve the supply capacity of the existing water network in the area, improving performance and reducing demands on the current network.

The project will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Shareridge and these works are expected to be completed in May 2026.

The benefits of these water network works include:

• Supporting social and economic development – This project will facilitate social and economic growth, including planned residential development.
• Improving the water network – This project will upgrade the water network, increasing the capacity to deliver reliable, sustainable high-quality water services.
• Providing a more resilient water supply – This project will improve the resilience of the water network, increasing connectivity to enable re-routing of water supply as required.

To safely and efficiently deliver these works, a combination of temporary road closures and a stop/go traffic management system will be in place during the works. Local and emergency services access will be maintained at all times and advance signage will be in place.

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. Standard working hours at Corbally are 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday and 9:30am to 4pm, Monday to Friday at Raheen.
