REPORT:

This is an Irish Water project which consists of the installation of a 1200mm diameter pipeline from the reservoir at Peamount to the reservoir at Saggart. The purpose of the project is to improve the resilience of water supply in Dublin. Contractors Ward & Burke have been appointed by Irish Water to deliver this project and works have commenced at various locations along the route of the pipeline, it is expected that work will commence in the park in Q4 2018. Irish Water submitted a CPO for this scheme to An Bord Pleanala and the Bord approved the CPO in August 2017. The compensation for the CPO is agreed under the CPO rules and has been progressing between the Council, its Valuers and Irish Water and their Valuers.

This scheme is separate from the Botherboy Water Scheme and there are no plans to alter or relocate the Botherboy pipeline under this CPO and construction project. The contract with Ward & Burke is solely for the installation of the new Peamount to Saggart pipeline.
