Public consultation of the draft Regional Water Resource Plan Eastern and Midlands region extended

Uisce Éireann has extended the statutory consultation period of the draft Regional Water Resource Plan Eastern and Midlands (RWRP-EM) and associated SEA Environmental Report and Natura Impact Statement (NIS). Uisce Éireann is now inviting feedback on the Plan and associated environmental documents, which was published for statutory consultation on Tuesday 14 December, until Friday 08 April 2022.

The RWRP-EM is Uisce Éireann's plan to identify how we will provide a safe, sustainable, secure and reliable water supply to our customers for now and into the future whilst safeguarding the environment. The RWRP-EM will set out how we will balance the supply and demand for drinking water over the short, medium and long term in the Eastern and Midlands region. It is a 25-year strategy to ensure we have a safe, sustainable, secure and reliable drinking water supply for everyone.  

This is an opportunity to feed into the process of how Uisce Éireann identifies the issues and opportunities for the water supply in your area and how solutions are found, before they are applied to your Region. The draft RWRP-EM and associated environmental reports can be viewed and downloaded on our website or at your local authority's planning office during office hours.

If you have any questions in relation to the RWRP-EM, you can contact our project team at nwrp@water.ie.
