Uisce Éireann and Minister James Browne have welcomed the Commission for Regulation of Utilities’ (CRU) final determination on Revenue Control 4 (RC4), providing the framework for the delivery of water and wastewater services up to 2029.
As part of this, Uisce Éireann has today set out a comprehensive programme of projects, giving clear visibility of planned works across all 26 counties, demonstrating how investment will translate into delivery, improving water services in our communities.
In County Wexford, a number of critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects will be progressed, including: the Enniscorthy Regional Water Supply project, upgrades to the Wexford town, Taylorstown and Gorey water treatment plants and key upgrades of water and wastewater networks.
Wexford’s Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne TD said; “This investment will see hundreds of projects being delivered, from water and wastewater treatment and network upgrades to leakage reduction and improvements in service resilience.
“Critically, it will support housing delivery by enabling new connections and addressing infrastructure constraints in key growth areas.
“This announcement also allows Uisce Éireann to continue to move projects through planning, construction and into operation, while ensuring that investment is translated into tangible improvements in services for customers and communities.
“Communities here in Wexford will see further evidence of projects being advanced, as I push on with the work needed to increase capacity, improve reliability and meet our environmental obligations,” concluded Minister Browne.
Indicative details of regional and local projects being delivered under this programme are available at www.water.ie, providing stakeholders and communities with clear insight into planned works in their area.
