QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor B. Bonner

"Would the drains and sewerage system in the Monastery Estate be able to take the extra volume which would be generated by a large scale nursing home development at the Lexington Site on Monastery Road?"

REPLY:

In relation to Surface Water drainage, as part of the planning process any developer will be required to show that the level of surface water discharged from the site does not increase after the development is completed.

In that context the surface water drains will be adequate to continue to accept the existing level of surface water draining from the site.

In relation to Foul Sewage, it will be up to the developer to agree a connection to the exisiting network with Irish Water.

Irish Water will consider the proposed flows from the site and check how that affectes their models of the Foul network.

Irish Water will then assess if there is capacity in the existing network or if capital investment is required in advance of granting a connection.
