MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, June 12, 2017

QUESTION NO. 14

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to confirm what actions he is taking to ensure that the public water levels in our County are being maintained and will he also give assurances in respect of the water quality available to the public.

REPLY:

Irish Water is now the Water Services Authority and it is their responsibility to ensure that public water supplies are maintained and that the water quality meets the requirements set out in the Regulations. We understand from them that there is currently adequate storage to maintain supplies, however it is important that the wastage of water is minimised and water conserved as much as possible.

Irish Water will soon be launching a new facility on their website the give their customers details of water quality test results in their area. Historically these results have been published on the SDCC website, however this will cease once Irish Water commence publishing the results from 15th June 2017.

Members are reminded that Irish Water have established a Local Representatives Service Desk which is committed to giving speedy responses to Elected Officials.

This Service Desk can be contacted at localrepsupport@water.ie or at 1890 178 178
