MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, October 13, 2014

QUESTION NO. 34

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive  to request that Irish Water send out prior notice to residents when carrying out repair/remedial works in South Dublin County Council as there have been reports of residents having no knowledge of these additional works taking place outside their property?

REPLY:

Irish Water puts notices of planned and unplanned maintenance on their website www.water.ie

Currently, Irish Water have indicated that they only have the resources to respond to motions/resolutions passed by the Full Council at their monthly meetings. It is not possible to provide responses to Council Questions from the 31 local authorities at their respective meetings.  Queries from individual councillors are dealt with via the dedicated Local Representative Support Desk which has been set up for this purpose.  For this reason, if a councillor wishes to progress a query, Irish Water advises him/her to submit same directly to the Local Representative Support Desk where it will be dealt with appropriately. This can be done via a dedicated elected member email localrepsupport@water.ie   or calling 1890 278 278 and asking for the Local Representative Support Desk.

SDCC will continue to put notices of planned and unplanned maintenance work on our website and social media pages.
