Hi resident
You are right, you should have went to the meetings.
The work on the new system began in 1998 and it has meant disruption for a great number of people all over the town since then.
The work that you see at the moment is for pipes being laid to bypass the pumping station to allow for the upgrading of work inside. This will entail the lowering of the weir levels. Six months has been allowed for the work to be carried out but the contractor is hoping to have it finished within that time frame.
You are a bit behind the times with your sympathies accorded to the Kilkerran residents. The idea of a pipe going down that way was scrubbed months ago.
Your sympathies should now lie with the residents of Low Askomil who will now likely bear the brunt of the remedial work AGAIN.
I don't blame anyone for not being too interested in what goes on in Low Askomil because despite efforts and flyers through all the doors along that way to attend meetings and to get involved to try and minimize the disruption, the response from the residents has been at times pathetic.
It will be when the work starts that they will want to know what the hell is going on despite the meetings, information leaflets and reports in the Courier.
Why you don't just go and ask what they are doing at the old triangle. It is not a covert operation Go along and ask to speak to whoever is in charge and he will tell you. It is not a secret. The mystery doesn't need to get any deeper
