The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of arterial drainage schemes completed under the Arterial Drainage Acts, 1945 and 1995, as amended.
The location concerned forms part of the Maine Arterial Drainage Scheme. Officials from the OPW South West Drainage Maintenance section met with the property owner recently and discussed the concerns. The property owner has been advised that some works were completed on the channel in July 2024 and that further works are included in the current works programme and will be undertaken between September 2024 and March 2025.
