Uisce Éireann applies for Wastewater Discharge Licence for the Greater Dublin Drainage Project

Uisce Éireann has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a Wastewater Discharge Licence (WWDL), which is an essential component of the GDD Project.

All wastewater discharges from Uisce Éireann facilities require a WWDL. This licence is necessary to ensure compliance with relevant legislation, regulating for the safe disposal of treated wastewater into the environment. This supports the GDD project aims of protecting public health and safeguarding the environment.

Securing this licence is an important step in the delivery of the GDD Project, the next major strategic step in the development of our wastewater infrastructure for Dublin and the surrounding counties.

All documentation in respect of the WWDL application will be made available on the EPA website and includes the:

  • Application for a wastewater discharge licence, and
  • Environmental impact assessment report (EIAR).
  • All supporting documents

Interested parties may submit written observations or submissions in relation to the application for the WWDL licence or the accompanying EIAR to the EPA via its website, or at its headquarters at P.O. Box 3000, Johnstown Castle Estate, Co. Wexford.
