QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor G. Kenny

To ask the Manager how many notifications have been issued by SDCC's Water Dept. regarding leaks to the house side water valve.  And how many have been issued to date?

REPLY:

Nineteen (19 No.) Section 56(1) Notices under the Water Services Act 2007 have been issued to householders by SDCC's Water Services Department to date to repair leaking services within the boundary of the house. These notices are only issued after the housholder has been informed of a leak on their premises and they have failed to repair said leak.  If householders fail to comply with the Section 56(1) notice they are then issued with a Section 56 (11)(a) notice notifying them that SDCC's Water Services Department will be restricting their supply.  Four (4 No.) of these notices have been issued to date this year.
