Irish Water, working in partnership with Cork City Council, is commencing the next stage of the Cork South Docks Network Extension and Upgrade Project following the successful completion of works on Anglesea Street in late 2021.

The €1.2m investment in the project will deliver increased water supply capacity to the South Docks, which is essential to facilitate future development and economic growth in the area.

This stage of the Cork South Docks Network Extension and Upgrade Project involves the construction of approximately 2.2km of new and upgraded watermains. The work, being carried out by Ward and Burke Limited on behalf of Irish Water, is split into seven distinct phases.

The project is due to commence in late January with phase one expected to take approximately three weeks. The work phases take place in the streets adjoining Albert Quay, including Albert Road and Centre Park Road.

The entire seven phases of this second round of works are expected to be complete in late summer 2022.
