Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, has completed a significant project to upgrade and improve the water network in Milltown and Dundrum. The delivery of this important project will support growth and development by increasing the capacity of the existing water network, improving performance and providing a more resilient water supply for a growing population. 

The project, delivered as part of Uisce Éireann’s national Growth and Development programme, involved the replacement of 720m of water mains along the Dundrum Road to improve the capacity of the existing water network. It is one of a number of projects that Uisce Éireann has undertaken to support and enable housing and economic growth in Dublin and the Greater Dublin Area (GDA).
