Growth and Development Programme - Loughbollard Pumping Station Upgrade
Uisce Éireann is upgrading the wastewater infrastructure at Loughbollard to support future growth and development in the area.
The works involve the upgrade of a wastewater pumping station to cater for the future growth and development of the wider Loughbollard area. These works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme, commencing in August 2025.
The section of works will take place in Loughbollard, Clane, Co Kildare.
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.
The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Coffey Construction and are expected to be completed by early 2026.
