A feasibility study for Allenwood will not be produced until 2027.
In Rathangan, upgrade works are planned for 2026 and 2027, with capacity increases still not confirmed.
The details were confirmed in response to an email to Kildare South Labour TD Mark Wall.
The delays follow findings by the Environmental Protection Agency, which reported that both towns failed to meet EU wastewater standards in 2024.
