A SERIES of critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects across County Donegal have been confirmed as part of a nationwide delivery programme announced by Uisce Éireann following the regulator’s approval of a €13.6 billion investment framework up to 2029.
Projects earmarked for Donegal include wastewater treatment plant upgrades at Buncrana, Fahan and Ballyliffen, wastewater network upgrades in Convoy and Kilcar, and water network and storage upgrades for Letterkenny and Inishowen.
The works form part of Uisce Éireann’s response to the Commission for Regulation of Utilities’ (CRU) final determination on Revenue Control 4 (RC4), which sets the framework for the delivery of water and wastewater services across all 26 counties.
Justin Johnston, Uisce Éireann’s Director of Strategy, Resilience and Regulation, said the determination provided a clear path forward.
“Our focus now is on delivery, progressing critical infrastructure, managing our operational and capital expenditure responsibly and efficiently, and meeting the targets set by our regulator,” he said.
Sean Laffey, Uisce Éireann’s Director of Asset Management, said the investment would deliver real, visible improvements for communities.
“Communities across the country will see further evidence of projects being advanced, as we work to increase capacity, improve reliability and meet our environmental obligations,” he said.
“Critically, it will support housing delivery by enabling new connections and addressing infrastructure constraints in key growth areas.”
Uisce Éireann has said it is committed to keeping local communities informed at every stage of delivery, with regular updates and ongoing engagement as projects progress.
