MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, October 26, 2021

MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee requests Chief Executive to prepare a presentation to members in regards to the planned expansion of future reservoirs in the area. To show what areas all these current and future plans are going to serve.

REPORT:

The Lucan / Palmerstown / North Clondalkin area is mainly served with water from Peamount Reservoir, which in turn is supplied from Water Treatment Plants at Ballymore-Eustace and Leixlip.  Irish Water manages the water supply including these Water Treatment Plants to ensure adequate water supply.  

Members will be aware that Irish water recently completed a trunk sewer between Peamount and Saggart Reservoirs with a new pumping station at Peamount, which gives additional options in supply arrangements and connectivity.  We are aware that Irish Water are working on future plans which may involve the construction of additional storage at Peamount.

Members are reminded that they can contact Irish Water at their Local Representative Support Desk.  This support desk can be contacted at localrepsupport@water.ie or at 0818 178 178.  Irish Water also hold Councillor Clinics, which typically take place quarterly.
