MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, June 14, 2016

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

"Please outline the plans for drainage for the proposed development for the Ballyboden infill development at Owendoher Haven, specifically highlighting the connection points to existing foul and surface water network?"

REPLY:

The infill development at Owendoher Haven is currently under preparation by the Architects department.

They are finalising a feasibility study for the scheme and intend to appoint consultants to review all aspects of the scheme including service connections.

All developments must ensure that post development surface water flows from the site do not exceed the pre development flows, measures must be taken within developments to ensure that surface water issues do not arise.

It is anticipated that the development will be connecting to the foul sewer at an existing connection and into a sewer than has not been problematic in the past. There was some issues with a pumping station in the area that has now been resolved.

The final permission for the connection to the foul sewer will be provided by Irish Water.
