MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor B. Ferron

That this Committee notes the recent flooding that has taken place at 3 units in Bolbrook Drive when foul material was discharged into houses and the back gardens of residents. This Committee also notes that this has been an on-going problem in this area going back some time. This Committee calls on the Chief Executive to outline a programme of works that will resolve this matter and stop any further re-occurrence in the future.

REPORT:

In order to alleviate flooding at this location, SDCC on behalf of Irish Water constructed a new manhole on the foul sewer and diverted some pipework. This enabled the fitting of non-return valves on the foul drains for these and other houses in the vicinity. The works have now been completed and will be monitored by drainage staff. The affected residents in Bolbrook Drive have been notified.
