QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor David McManus

To ask the Chief Executive if damaged open green space can be repaired at the junction of Knocklyon Road & Templeroan Road - the location of recent sewer upgrade works in 2022? A photo of the location is included.

REPLY:

Uisce Éireann laid a new sewer in this area in 2022 under their Local Network Reinforcement Project.  Reinstatement of roads, footpaths and green areas is in progress by Uisce Éireann's contractor and this will be completed to meet the requirements of SDCC Public Realm.

Since Uisce Éireann completed their sewer project a trunk water main burst in their recently reinstated area near the junction of Knocklyon Road & Templeroan Road.  This burst was repaired by SDCC Water Operations on behalf of Uisce Éireann.  Reinstatement of the green in the area of the burst repair will be carried out by Uisce Éireann's contractor as soon as weather and ground conditions allow.

Members are reminded that Uisce Éireann have a Local Representative Support Desk that can be contacted at localrepsupport@water.ie
