QUESTION 11

QUESTION: Councillor J. Neville

" To ask the Manager for a detailed update on the ongoing sewerage issue in the Maplewood/Raheen area and what action does this Council plan to take in 2007 in an attempt to resolve this issue?"

REPLY

The Council proposes to carry out an investigation into the main foul drainage system within the Raheen/Maplewood/Springfield area as early as possible in 2007.  This investigation will involve CCTV survey of the mains and inspection of manholes throughout the area to establish the existence of any faults within the network.

 

There are a number of problems on private combined drains in the area in relation to broadstraps which have become faulty over time and are causing blockages and these are currently being dealt with by the Drainage Maintenance Section and the householders involved.
