QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

 To ask the Chief Executive if he can make a statement on the performance of flood alleviation systems installed in recent developments such as Corkagh Grange and Kilcarberry Grange estates and to outline a detailed response.

REPLY:

Kilcarberry Grange and Corkage Grange are very new estates.  These estates are currently being managed by the developer. 

Natural Water is not aware of any issues regarding the drainage systems of Kilcarberry Grange and Corkage Grange.   Any issues will be resolved as the estates are surveyed and snagged during the handover process.

Natural Water are currently reviewing the performance of the large drainage attenuation ditch at Kilcarberry, alongside the R136, outer ring road.  The developer is undertaking some remedial works to enhance the performance of the attenuation ditch.
