Amharc ar fhreagraThere are a number of housing estates across the country that rely on developer provided infrastructure for their water services networks. These estates have not been taken-in-charge and their water services networks are not, currently, 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 in June 2023 I approved over €3.3 million of funding, under the DPI Programme, to Cork County Council to deliver this project to resolve the DPI issue in Crossbarry.
