Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of applications for water connections for Developer Provided Infrastructure broken down by local authority, schemes in each local authority and number of units associated with each scheme; and the number of DPI connections that have been completed, broken down by local authority, number of schemes and units in each scheme, in tabular form.

View answerThe Government decided, effective 1 January 2024, that Uisce Éireann, as the national water utility, is responsible for remediating developer-provided water and wastewater infrastructure (DPI).
The scope and progression of individual projects are determined by Uisce Éireann in consultation with the relevant local authorities, in line with agreed governance arrangements. Uisce Éireann coordinates internally and with local authorities to oversee project delivery and agree next steps, ensuring alignment with national priorities and local needs.
The detailed information sought by the question is maintained by Uisce Éireann as part of its operational responsibility for the DPI programme.
To support public representatives, Uisce Éireann has established a dedicated team to respond to queries and representations regarding DPI projects. The team can be contacted by email at oireachtasmembers@water.ie or by telephone at 0818 578 578 and is committed to providing timely updates on project progress.
