MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, May 26, 2025

QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor K. Keane

"To ask the committee have SDCC been in contact with Uisce Eireann in relation to the problem some residents in MacUlliam are having related to blocked sewage pipes resulting in foul smells /problems in their homes due to the blocked pipes? This issue needs to be resolved and it would be helpful if SDCC could intervene with Uisce Eireann?"

REPLY:

SDCC has contacted Uisce Éireann to enquire on this matter.  They report that they have investigated and found the main wastewater network sewer is clear and running so no blockages were found in the public network in the area.

If foul smells continue this may indicate an issue in the private drain/s serving the properties and if so this would be a private matter.  

Members are reminded that they can contact Uisce Éireann directly via their dedicated elected representative office at localrepsupport@water.ie
