Our Ref: CDS25009174 Pre-Connection Enquiry
Tully, Monaghan
Dear Applicant/Agent,
We have completed the review of the Pre-Connection Enquiry.
Uisce Éireann has reviewed the pre-connection enquiry in relation to a Water &
Wastewater connection for a Housing Development of 49 unit(s) at Site at, Tully,
Monaghan, (the Development).
Based upon the details provided we can advise the following regardi ng
connecting to the networks;
Water Connection
Feasible without infrastructure upgrade by Uisce Éireann
Water Treatment
Connection feasible without infrastructure upgrades.
Water Network
Connection feasible without infrastructure upgrades assuming a connection via
the 100mm diameter uPVC main in the Manor Wood estate to the north of the
site. Connection to the 100mm diameter CI watermain on Glen Road is not
feasible without upgrading 290m of the CI main to 200mm as per PCE
CDS22002898.
RECEIVED: 12/08/2026
Wastewater Connection
Feasible Subject to upgrades
Wastewater Treatment
The Monaghan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is under stress and has
limited capacity. This proposed development is feasible on the basis that the
developer builds a WWTP that provides an appropriate pretreatment of 10 mg/l
BOD, 10 mg/l SS & 1mg/l Ammonia prior to discharging to the UE network. It
is up to the applicant to prove the pretreatment WWTP can cope with the
loading from the new development.
It is critical that any connection agreement ensures that the on -site WWTP
serving the houses is operated and maintained by the developer to achieve the
effluent standards proposed, that an operator and maintenance contractor is
identified, and that it’s maintained until such time as UE upgrade the Monaghan
WWTP. The maintenance contract should include for supply and installation of
spare parts, emergency call out, insurance, costs associated with the day -to-
day running of the works such as power, regular d esludging and effluent
monitoring.
Note that UE will not take the on-site WWTP in charge as part of any future
taking in charge process; it will remain the responsibility of the developer.
Wastewater Network
Connection feasible without infrastructure upgrades.
This letter does not constitute an offer, in whole or in part, to provide a connection
to any Uisce Éireann infrastructure. Before the Development can be connected
to our network(s) you must submit a connection application and be granted and
sign a connection agreement with Uisce Éireann.
As the network capacity changes constantly, this review is only valid at the time
of its completion. As soon as planning permission has been granted for the
Development, a completed connection application should be submitted. The
connection application is available at www.water.ie/connections/get-connected/
