Liscarton Water Treatment Plant to Proudstown Reservoir Water Mains Replacement

Uisce Éireann is progressing plans to replace 4km of watermains between Navan's Water Treatment Plant at Liscarton and its storage reservoir at Proudstown. This investment will provide for future growth while providing resilience and security of supply for Navan.

Uisce Éireann, working in partnership with Meath County Council, is progressing plans to replace 4 kilometres of 450mm diameter, asbestos cement rising main between Navan's Water Treatment plant at Liscarton and its storage reservoir at Proudstown. The existing 46-year-old asbestos cement rising main between Liscarton Water Treatment Plant and Proudstown Reservoir has been subject to several bursts resulting in a loss of supply to the Navan area. This investment will provide for future growth while providing resilience and security of supply in the Navan Water Supply Zone.

Approximately 4 kilometres of watermain will be replaced between the Liscarton Water Treatment Plant and the Proudstown Reservoir.

The works carried out as part of this project will:

• Improve the security of the drinking water supply and provide greater network resilience across the Navan/Mid Meath Water Supply Zone.
• Enable the long term social and economic development of Navan.

Planning approval for the Project has been secured in Q2 2024.

Uisce Éireann are now engaging with landowners to get agreement for proposed wayleaves.

The timeline for the commencement of the pipeline replacement works is subject to planning and statutory approvals. We will endeavour to keep you updated as the project progresses.

​This project is one of a number of similar projects prioritised by Uisce Éireann to reduce interruptions or outages to the drinking water supply and facilitate growth for the Navan/Mid Meath & East Meath Water Supply Zones. For more information on these projects visit www.water.ie.
