QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor C. Brophy

"To ask the Manager to inspect the shores and main sewer on Whitehall Road and to report on what has caused the recent blockages which have effected houses on the road?"

REPLY:

The Drainage Maintenance Section suspects that grease was the cause of the blockages in the sewers on Whitehall Road recently. The front & back gardens of a number of the houses were affected on the 23rd and 24th of February 2010. All gardens were decontaminated and disinfected and the main sewers in the area were hydraulically dragged and cleared of grease.
