While there is no requirement on Irish Water or any other infrastructure provider to install carrier neutral ducting during its infrastructure works, the Water Services (No. 2) Act requires Irish Water to ensure that their Water Services Strategic Plan is consistent with the Regional Planning Guidelines. Irish Water has confirmed that it is taking the recommendations of the Regional Planning Guidelines into consideration in the drafting of the Water Services Strategic Plan which is currently underway.
All infrastructure works currently underway are mapped using Irish Water’s in-house Water Services GIS system.
