MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor E. Maloney

"To ask the Manager when work will be completed and the grass re-instated  at Watergate Park, Tallaght, by the Contractor of the new water supply?"

REPLY:

Work on the installation of the new mains water supply pipeline through Watergate/ Sean Walsh Park is due to commence on Tuesday 16/2/10.  It is expected the main portion of the pipelaying works will take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete. Thereafter the pipeline would be subject to the normal pressure testing, followed by the reinstatement of footpaths, road crossings and the completion of landscape reinstatement works. The commencement of the final regrading, topsoiling and reinstatement of the route of the pipeline will depend to a large extent on weather and suitably dry ground conditions and it is not therefore possible to give an exact timescale for the completion of these works. However, taking the above factors into account, it is expected to have the bulk of the reinstatement works completed by the third quarter of 2010.
