QUESTION NO. 16

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask Chief Executive to provide a detail report on the recent report regarding IW connection problem at the Castleview development and to ask if the responsibility of this lies directly with the AHB Respond or/and others. To inform members how soon new residents can be expected to move into their new home.

REPLY:

Respond Housing have advised in relation to utility issues within the new Castleview estate, there has been a delay of around 5.5 months attributable to the foul (main) sewer connection and 3.5 months to the mains water connection. Both sewer/drainage and water services are the responsibility of Irish Water. Although utility connections were not available, the scheme was progressed and the homes were made available for preliminary snagging between mid-February 2021 and June 2021; the latter date when water connection was available on site.

All nominations to Respond Housing have been completed and tenancies have commenced since the 11^th October.  The remaining tenancy signups are expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
