Irish Water has extended the statutory consultation period of the draft Regional Water Resource Plan Eastern and Midlands (RWRP-EM) and associated SEA Environmental Report and Natura Impact Statement (NIS) for the second time.

Irish Water is now inviting feedback on the Plan and associated environmental documents, which was published for statutory consultation on Tuesday 14 December, until Friday 08 April 2022.
The water company had previously extended the initial consultation period deadline of 14 March to 25 March.
The RWRP-EM is Irish Water’s plan to identify how we will provide a safe, sustainable, secure and reliable water supply to customers for now and into the future whilst safeguarding the environment. The RWRP-EM sets out how the water company will balance the supply and demand for drinking water over the short, medium and long term in the Eastern and Midlands region. The 25-year strategy is aimed at ensuring a safe, sustainable, secure and reliable drinking water supply.
This is an opportunity to feed into the process of how Irish Water identifies the issues and opportunities for the water supply in your area and how solutions are found, before they are applied to your Region. The draft RWRP-EM and associated environmental reports can be viewed and downloaded on our website or at your local authority’s planning office during office hours.
