Local facts
What's different about Lusk
Lusk is a town of newer houses: 94% of households live in a house, and 79% of homes were built in 1991 or later, against 62% in Swords (CSO Census 2022, our comparison). Its water comes through the same supply zone as Swords. What we checked:
- Lusk had 8,806 people and 2,737 households at the 2022 census. 94% of households live in a house or bungalow and 5.7% in a flat or apartment (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- 79% of its homes were built in 1991 or later and 5.2% before 1971; 1.3% date from before 1919 (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- 77% of homes heat with natural gas, 17% with oil and 3.6% with electricity (CSO Census 2022, small area statistics).
- Its water comes through Uisce Éireann's Fingal Zone 1 supply zone, which tests at a median 198 mg/l of calcium carbonate, moderately hard on Meath County Council's scale (Uisce Éireann hardness results, 2022–2025, scale).
- Inside the CSO's settlement boundary for Lusk, 371 new homes were completed from 2021 to 2025 (CSO new dwelling completions by settlement (NDA06)). The boundary was drawn after the 2016 census, so estates built on the edge since then may fall outside it.
- Lusk is about 8 km north of Swords in a straight line: our sum from the coordinates Wikipedia gives for both towns (Wikipedia: Lusk).
- In July 2026 Uisce Éireann finished renewing over 1 km of old water mains around Kelly Park and Ministers Road, pipes it says had been prone to bursts and leaks. The new service connections run from the main in the road to each property's boundary (Uisce Éireann, 30 Jul 2026).
- When Uisce Éireann connected a new pipeline between Ballycoolin Reservoir and Swords on 26 February 2023, Lusk was on the outage list with Swords, and a water tanker was set up at Rathmore Park car park (Fingal County Council, 14 Feb 2023).
- 57 Lusk households have their own septic tank and 96% are on the public sewer (CSO Census 2022).
If the pressure drops, ask a neighbour. If theirs is low too, it's the network, and Uisce Éireann says pressure can take up to three hours to build back after an outage (Uisce Éireann). If it's only your house, check the stopcock is fully open, then send the job.

How quickly will a plumber ring me back in Lusk?
We don't promise a time. One local plumber who covers Lusk gets your request and rings you about the job, and they say when they can come. Pick Today in the form if it can't wait, and if anything is leaking, turn the water off at the stopcock first.
Kelly Park got new mains. Who fixes a leak now?
It depends where the leak is. In the road, or up to your boundary, it's Uisce Éireann's: ring 1800 278 278. From the boundary into the house the pipe is yours (Uisce Éireann), and a leak there is a plumber's job. The 2026 works laid new connections only as far as each property's boundary (Uisce Éireann).
Is Lusk on the same water as Swords?
Yes. Uisce Éireann's zone map puts Lusk and Swords in the same supply zone, Fingal Zone 1, where the 2022 to 2025 results have a median of 198 mg/l of calcium carbonate: moderately hard. Kettles, shower heads and immersion elements scale up over time.
Do you cover all of Lusk?
Yes. Lusk Eircodes start with K45 (Eircode list). Put Lusk and your estate or Eircode in the form, and we pass it to one plumber who covers it. You can send a job from Rush and Swords too.
