MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, July 11, 2022

QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive if he would give assurances that the water supply available in the County will satisfy the needs of our communities through the Summer months; will he confirm the contacts he maintains in the matter and will he make a statement? 

REPLY:

SDCC works with Irish Water under a Service Level Agreement to operate and maintain the water supply within the County, and also the foul sewer network.

Regular operations meetings take place with Irish Water and all the Greater Dublin Region Local Authorities to manage the water supply within the region.  These meetings typically take place fortnightly, but can take place more often if water supply concerns arise on the networks that need attention.  There are no water supply issues of concern at present or apparent over the next couple of months, particularly noting that water levels at Pollaphuca and Bohernabreena reservoirs are satisfactory for this time of year.

Irish Water publish details of any outages or any other issues regarding water supply on their website www.water.ie  Members are reminded that Irish Water have a Local Representative Support Desk that can be contacted at localrepsupport@water.ie or at 0818 178 178 for any issues regarding water supply.
