Deputy Regina Doherty TD welcomes the news from the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government that funding has been approved for over-due necessary improvements on the Ashbourne/Kilbride sewage network.
This funding approval will allow Meath County Council to accept the tender of over €1.64 million to carry out the necessary improvements.
Doherty explains “USSR Ltd put in a tender for the contract to carry out the necessary work on the network. Today the Minister has approved this funding so that the works may commence. These repairs and improvements will be carried out under the Department of Environments Water Services Investment Programme 2010-2012.”
“There will be rehabilitation of the most severe defects in the current system in the Ashbourne, Kilbride and Ratoath drainage system. The plan is to also seal all the leaks to prevent infiltration in the existing drainage network.”
“This announcement is welcome news given the issues that the residents of Kilbride have had over the past year with the horrendous smell being emitted in the area. Improvements of this kind will complete the provision of high quality sewage infrastructure in the area as it should be in the 21st century!”
