Kildare County Council vows to target drains in badly affected areas
A water management priority list will be informed by the input of local councillors
Kildare County Council (KCC) has expressed interest in creating a water management priority list for the Athy Municipal District (MD).
The list was raised at the latest MD meeting, which took place on Monday, February 16 last.
It was suggested by Fianna Fáil councillor Veralouise Behan, who motioned for Kildare County Council (KCC) to increase its road surface water management practices in the MD, "to include and not limited to: the clearing of culverts, watercuts and drains".
She appeared at the meeting by virtual means.
In response to her motion, KCC explained via the report it presented at the meeting: "KCC managed watercuts, culverts and drains are already part of our routine maintenance.
