Did you know?

Uisce Éireann installs the connection up to your property boundary.

You are responsible for the pipework from your home to that connection point. This may involve excavation, pipe laying, plumbing, backfilling and reinstatement.

PreConnect can also arrange these private-side works for you, with a separate quotation.
