Two Killarney estates to receive funding for water services
Two housing estates in Killarney will benefit from €401,588 in funding for water services it was announced this week.
Birch Hill is to receive €154,109 while Old Killarney Village is set to get €247,749 under the Multi-Annual Developer Provided Water Services Infrastructure Resolution Programme.
The works have been welcomed by TD Brendan Griffin and Minister for Education and Kerry TD Norma Foley.
The programme is focused on housing estates which are not taken-in-charge by local authorities and do not have their water services connected to the public water services network but rely instead on infrastructure, often temporary in nature, which was provided by developers.
Following consideration by an Expert Panel, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage approved funding allocations amounting to just over €3.3 million to 10 local authorities to resolve 26 housing estates providing water services to almost 950 homes.
“This funding will benefit many families in Kerry who have been relying on substandard developer provided wastewater or drinking water treatment plants," Deputy Griffin said.
The Department is also re-engaging with local authorities to see if there are additional estates which could be connected to the public network, and which could be included within the programme.
