MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, April 28, 2015

QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor R. Nolan

"To ask the Chief Executive if there is a problem with sewage in Arthur Griffith Park Lucan. If there is, what is causing the problem, and what is the Councils plans for dealing with it. Also is the sewage flowing into the River Griffeen?"

REPLY:

A section of damaged foul sewer has been identified between between house numbers 95 and 99. An application for approval to proceed with these works has been submitted to Irish Water and we are currently awaiting Irish Water's response.

In addition, a section of damaged surface water line has also been found nearby. Sewage is not flowing into the Griffeen River, however should the foul sewer block up there is the potential for this to surcharge and overflow to the surface water line which discharges to the Griffeen River. The surface water repair has been placed on our programme of works and will be undertaken as soon as is practicable.
