The short answer
For a standard connection, Uisce Éireann normally installs the public-side connection to your property boundary.
What does Uisce Éireann do?
It reviews your application, issues an offer and carries out the agreed connection to the public main or sewer.
What do I pay for?
You arrange pipes, trenches and repairs on your own land. You may also need drawings, surveys or legal rights to cross other land.
Can I hire my own contractor?
Yes, for private-side work. Only Uisce Éireann or its approved agents can make the final link to the public network.
Can PreConnect arrange the work?
Yes. We can help arrange private-side works under a separate quote. Check your connection offer for the exact split of work.
Need help with your connection?
We prepare and manage single domestic connection applications for one fixed professional fee.
