Work to begin on major Merlin Park water infrastructure project

Mon, May 25, 2026

Construction is due to get under way this week on a major new underground wastewater storage tank at Merlin Park, representing a significant investment in the city’s future infrastructure. 

Uisce Éireann has said it is upgrading the Merlin Park Wastewater Pumping Station on the Old Dublin Road to deliver a significant boost to the capacity of the wastewater network to the east of the city, supporting continued growth and development.  

The landmark project, which is being carried out under Uisce Éireann’s Growth and Development Programme, will strengthen the city’s wastewater network and provide additional capacity for the delivery of new homes in the coming years.
