Sessiagh View, Ballybofey

Residents in Ballybofey are having their sewers “going up to their showers” said Cllr Dakota Nic Mheanman, and called on Donegal County Council to fix the issue.

Cllr Nic Mheanman highlighted the plight of residents at Sessiagh View, Ballybofey, in October’s Lifford Stranorlar Municipal District meeting.

She said: “Recently up Donegal Road, they were having issues with their sewers. People from our team and Uisce Éireann went, and the problem was the pipes.

“Uisce Éireann says it is not their responsibility but for the people, their sewers are going up to their showers, and it really needs to be fixed.”

In response, Colin McNulty, the Area Manager for Housing and Corporate Services, said: “That has not been brought to my attention so I will have a word with the engineer. 

“I will see what the issue is there, and get back to you directly.”
