Celbridge Sewer Network Improvement Project
Uisce Éireann Growth and Development Programme
Uisce Éireann, in partnership with Kildare County Council & South Dublin County Council, is improving the sewer network in Celbridge along the Dublin Road to support economic and social development of the area.
Uisce Éireann working in partnership with Kildare & South Dublin County Council is undertaking essential works to upgrade the wastewater network on the Dublin Road, Celbridge.These works will involve construction of almost 5km's of new gravity and rising main sewers.
This project is being delivered to support future development. It will also improve the capacity of the existing sewers, improving performance and reducing the risk of sewer flooding in the area. Coffey Construction Limited is working on behalf of Uisce Éireann to deliver this improvement project.
What is involved as part of this project?
The project site is located east of Celbridge stretching for approximately 5km along the Dublin Road from Celbridge town and into South County Dublin. The first site can be characterised as opening at Primrose Hill Pumping Station on the Hazelhatch Road (R405) beside the local National School. From there it rounds the corner on to the Dublin Road and travels east towards Dublin connecting to an existing section of rising sewer constructed by South Dublin County Council (SDCC) as part of the ongoing Celbridge Link Road works. Primrose Hill Pumping Station will also be upgraded as part of this project.
The second site related to the rising sewer works from the Celbridge Link Road along Tubber Lane Road. This is a short section of rising sewer that terminates at Tobermaclugg Pumping Station and has been completed as of Q4 2022.
