Ballyvolane Water and Wastewater Project
Uisce Éireann Growth and Development Programme
Uisce Éireann, in partnership with Cork City Council has completed the construction of new water and wastewater infrastructure in Ballyvolane, Cork to support future growth and development in the area.
The construction of new watermains, new wastewater network, and associated wastewater pumping station, in addition to the upgrade of existing aged watermains, will ensure required capacity of the water and wastewater infrastructure to support future development in the area.
The works were carried out on behalf of Uisce Éireann by Geda Construction Ltd, and completed in early 2025.

Phase 1: Construction of a wastewater pumping station on Ballyhooly Road
Phase 2: Construction of approximately 1.5km of watermains on Lower Dublin Hill Road to the junction with Ballyhooly Road.
Phase 3: The upgrade of over 200m of existing water main on Ballyhooly Road and construction of approximately 2.6km of wastewater rising mains on Ballyhooly Road and North Ring Road to the Old Youghal Road junction.
Benefits of the project
Now complete, the new water and wastewater network and pumping station will facilitate future development in the Ballyvolane area. It will support social and economic growth through the provision of water and wastewater services for new homes and businesses.
