MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, November 14, 2011

QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor M. Devine

To ask the Manager to provide a report on the works undertaken to clear Public drains in its Winter Maintenance Schedule thus far?

REPLY:

All 42,000 gullies in the County Council area are included on a schedule for clearing throughout the year.  

Many of these gullies are cleared up to four times per year depending on their location and the history of their efficiency.

Where further remedial works or additional attention is required, paticularly in Autumn / Winter,  the relevant crews from either Drainage Maintenance  or  Road Maintenance carry out these works.
