QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor M. Duff

Could the Chief Executive inform this Area Committee as to what progress if any, has been made to alleviate flooding in the Glenview Park area? This area suffered severe flooding in previous storms and following Storm Ciara, many back gardens ended up being flooded again.

REPLY:

Irish Water was established under the Water Services Act 2013 to be the company responsible by statute for owning, operating and maintaining water and wastewater infrastructure and delivering water and wastewater services in Ireland, and to take on the functions and the powers conferred previously to Local Authorities.

This particular issue is a matter for Irish Water and this question has been referred onto them on your behalf for a more detailed reply

Under the Service Level Agreement SDCC are working on a solution to the Glenview foul drainage issue with Irish Water. Recent CCTV footage for the pipework has brought to light another possible solution to this problem.

Members are reminded that Irish Water have established a Local Representative Service Desk which is committed to giving speedy responses. This Service Desk can be contacted at Localrepsupport@water.ie or
