Major waterworks upgrade planned for Meath and Louth region
Uisce Éireann has lodged plans to modernise the Staleen facility, aiming to secure a more dependable water supply for thousands. The proposed works target improved network resilience across Meath and Louth to better serve local households and businesses.
Uisce Éireann has formally submitted a planning application to upgrade the Staleen Water Treatment Plant in County Meath. Should planners approve the proposal, this significant investment will bolster water reliability for residents and enterprises throughout Meath and Louth.
The initiative aims to assist over 70,000 customers by fortifying the local network against future demands and ensuring consistent service delivery. This project aligns with the utility company’s broader strategy to maintain safe drinking water access for communities in the area.
John McElwaine, Programme Manager at Uisce Éireann, highlighted the importance of this submission: "This application marks a vital step in strengthening our infrastructure. The enhancements will address long-term water requirements by improving both reliability and resilience across both counties."
Comprehensive technical, environmental, and engineering evaluations have guided the application to ensure local needs are met without compromising the surrounding ecosystem. Throughout the planning phase, Uisce Éireann remains committed to engaging with local communities, elected officials, and key stakeholders while keeping customers updated on project developments.
As the national provider of public drinking water and wastewater services, Uisce Éireann is dedicated to enabling community growth through sustainable infrastructure development.
