The watermain layout for the proposed development must be in
accordance with the most up-to-date version of Fingal County
Council’s ‘Guidelines for the Laying of Distribution Watermains’ and
‘Guidelines for Drinking Water Supply’.In order to limit unnecessary
water usage, leakage and excessive consumption, a Water
Management and Conservation Plan detailing how best practice in
water conservation shall be applied in respect of the proposed
development to include both watermains and internal plumbing,
must be prepared for the development of these lands. This plan
should consider incorporating conservation methods such as water
harvesting.
3.5.3 Foul Drainage and Swords WWTP
All foul infrastructure will be designed and constructed in
accordance with the Greater Dublin Regional Code of Practice for
Drainage works and should comply with the Greater Dublin
Strategic Drainage Study (GDSDS).
At present, Swords WWTP is operating at its design capacity of 60,000
p.e. Fingal County Council intends to upgrade the plant to 90,000 p.e.
in the medium term and to 140,000 in the long term. The medium
term expansion is expected to be complete by end of 2012.
The Swords Waste Water Treatment Plant will not be operational
and the necessary foul drainage network improvements will not be
completed before 2012, therefore any residential development within
the LAP lands will be dependant on the delivery of this infrastructure.
Prior to development of each phase/any application being made,
written confirmation from Fingal Water Services Department will be
required to state that capacity is available and extent of that capacity.
