Council undertake works to stop sewerage overflow in Prosperous

Kildare County Council have said that they have already began works to improve the water pipelines in Prosperous and fix any flooding issues that are being experienced by residents in the town.

A meeting of the Maynooth Municipal District was asked by Cllr Paul Ward if the committee could receive an update on the works completed to date and any additional works scheduled in respect of the flooding issues in Prosperous.

The council responded by stating that water services have undertaken to carry out improvements to a foul manhole to prevent sewage overflow at Barrington Court. They also intimated that the surface water pipelines there have proved to be working well.

Plans are being developed to construct a new surface water pipeline along the main road to Villa Court to connect to an existing large diameter pipeline at the back of Anne Street. This work is programmed to be finished before next winter.
