On-Site Guidance

Uisce Éireann has prepared a library of Toolbox Talks to provide support to the development industry who are involved in the construction of water and wastewater services which are connecting into IUisce Éireann networks.

The Toolbox Talks provide a summary of key pieces of information for the workforce involved in the construction of Self-Lay connections. They outline Uisce Éireann's requirements for common activities and are complimentary to the water and wastewater Standard Details and Codes of Practice.

The Toolbox Talks cover both water and wastewater and some of them, i.e. TT1, TT5 and TT6 can be applied to both water and wastewater.

Before the Quality Assurance process can begin, it is very important that you ensure the following steps have been completed:

• Accept your Connection Agreement. You must ensure that all required payments are submitted, and documentation is executed and returned to Uisce Eireann, within the Agreement's 90 day validity period.
• Submit Your Commencement Notice at least 14 days in advance of commencing your Self-Lay Works. (words 'commencement notice' can be a link to the document itself)
• Request your Pre Commencement Site meeting. You can request this by sending an email to developerscheduling@water.ie. Please note, you must provide a minimum of 10 days notice for this meeting.
