There are a number of housing estates across the country that rely on developer provided infrastructure for their water services. These estates have not been taken-in-charge and their water services are not connected to the public (Uisce Éireann) network. The water services infrastructure, provided by the developer of such estates, is more commonly called DPI.

My Departments’ Multi-annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme (DPI Programme) has provided funding to assist in progressively resolving issues with DPI in a number of locations across the country.

I can confirm that Cork County Council applied for funding under the DPI Programme for a project to resolve an issue in the area named in the details supplied.

In June 2023 I approved funding of move than €3.3 million for this project. It is now a matter for Cork County Council to complete the project.
