Major Drainage Project Serving Kildare Moves To Early Procurement

Thursday, 5 February 2026 16:22

By Martin Osborne

The Project is designed to provide additional wastewater treatment capacity for the region.

Uisce Éireann has begun the early stages of procurement for the Greater Dublin Drainage Project.

The Project is designed to provide additional wastewater treatment capacity for the region.

It will serve parts of Kildare, Meath and north Dublin, providing wastewater treatment for up to 500,000 people.

Uisce Éireann is also scoping out the market for a potential bidder for the Water Supply Project for the east and midlands regions.

Preliminary works on the drainage project are expected to begin before the end of 2026.

The combined investment for both schemes is expected to be over 7 billion euro.
