We seek a report on the upgrade to the Leixlip Waste Water Treatment Plant, when will the work be fully complete, is it within budget, if there are overruns what are the
extent of these, what reinstatement works remain outstanding, what is the new capacity of the system and the finite level of the river Liffey?

The recent severe weather conditions created serious water problems for a huge number of homeowners. The vast majority seem to be associated with stop valves which were incorrectly fitted. All of these valves are out on the public footpath. To
