Deadline is the 14th March

Irish Water’s statutory public consultation on its draft Regional Water Resources Plan for the Eastern and Midlands Region will continue to run until 14 March 2022.

The public webinar dates are set for February 2, 3, 7 and 8.

The three-month public consultation began on 14 December 2021 and sets out the options for providing a more secure, reliable and sustainable water supply for 2.5 million customers in the Eastern and Midlands region over the next 25 years.

The public consultation is an opportunity to feed into the process of how Irish Water identifies the water supply issues in the region and determines what the options are to provide a more resilient water supply to customers.

These webinars will provide information on the draft Regional Water Resources Plan Eastern and Midlands and allow opportunities to pose questions to inform submissions.

The public can provide an expression of interest on the Irish Water website.

The documents are also available to view on the website.

A 13-week statutory public consultation will continue to run until 14 March.

Submissions can be made by post or email by 14 March 2022.
