COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM/TEMPLEOGUE-TERENURE AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 12, 2017

QUESTION NO.2

QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

"To ask the Chief Executive whether waste water or sewage enters the Owendoher anywhere within our county boundary?"

REPLY:

"There are no licensed sewage or wastewater outfalls to the Owendoher river within the county. The river is very infrequently affected by foul sewer overflows and pollution incidents and more frequently affected by domestic misconnections discharging to the surface water drainage network. The Council collects water quality samples from three locations along the river each month and the results show that the river is at moderate status.

SDCC is currently monitoring for foul odours at Ballyboden Way/Taylors Lane roundabout as part of a compliant resolution investigation."
