Introduction

Uisce Éireann is responsible for the delivery of secure, safe, and sustainable water services for the people of Ireland. We are responsible for providing clean and safe water for millions of people across Ireland. We operate and maintain water and wastewater infrastructure including thousands of treatment plants and assets, as well as tens of thousands of kilometres of pipe network.

We provide our customers and communities with a safe and reliable supply of drinking water and collect their wastewater, treat it and safely return it to the environment. In delivering these vital services, which underpin social and economic growth for present and future generations, we are collaborating with our Local Authority partners to transform Ireland’s water and wastewater networks, under a single modern and efficient national utility.
