Kerry County Council has applied to Irish Water for €10 million in funding to replace water pipes in the greater Killarney area.
The Council was responding to a motion by Cllr Marie Moloney who is concerned at the number of water breakages across the district.
“Every week, Kerry County Council in conjunction with Irish Water are announcing breakages,” she told last week’s meeting of Killarney Municipal Council.
A Council spokesperson told the meeting that pipe replacement work at Ballyspillane, Lewis Road, Dalton’s Avenue, Marian Park, O’Kelly’s Villas, Woodlawn Rd, and Ross Rd in the town and outlying areas like Ballaugh, Coolcaslagh, Torrencahill, Rathmore, Barraduff, and Knockanes, all form part of a recent submission for funding by the Council to Irish Water.
In a separate motion, Cllr Michael Gleeson asked if there were any plans to build a second supply reservoir at Sheehree. The current reservoir has a capacity for 30,000 M3 and a Council spokesperson said they had “no plans to develop a second one”.
