Growth and Development Programme - Maynooth Water Network Upgrade

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

The works involve the installation of 1.2 kilometres of new water mains at the R148 Dunboyne Road and the R157, to cater for the future growth and development of the wider Maynooth area. These works are being carried out as part of Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme and are expected to commence in summer 2025.

The works will be carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Coffey Construction and are expected to be completed by early 2026.

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 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.

Traffic management will be in place at the R148 Dunboyne Road and the R157. Works will be carried out in rolling stages. Traffic management plans will be communicated in advance of works commencing.

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 are 7:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday.

Works may involve planned interruptions to water supply. Customers will be notified in advance of any planned water outages.
