Drainage & Plumbing in Clondalkin
Clondalkin is a suburban village in South Dublin County Council's area, with a population of 47,938 recorded across its electoral divisions in the 2022 census. The area has a long history: it began as a monastic settlement founded by Saint Cronan Mochua in the early 7th century, and its round tower, built around 790 AD, still stands at 25.6 metres with its original conical cap. Residents raised flood prevention as a concern during the Clondalkin Local Area Plan consultation, and the Camac Flood Alleviation Scheme is being carried out jointly by the OPW, Dublin City Council and South Dublin County Council.
On emergencies, our aim is to be with you within 2 hours of your call.
Clondalkin's Sewer Network and Drainage
Wastewater from Clondalkin village flows to the 9B Strategic Sewer, which Uisce Éireann identifies as near capacity and constrained. South Dublin County Council's records note that storm water has historically discharged into the foul sewer network in Clondalkin, and new developments in the area must demonstrate that storm water is kept separate from the foul sewer. Clondalkin is included in Uisce Éireann's City Centre Drainage Area Plan, which will develop solutions to the network constraints.
We serve Clondalkin from our base in Lucan, aiming to reach you within 2 hours for emergencies, with non-emergency drain repairs and maintenance attended the same day. Our service runs 24/7, 365 days a year including bank holidays, so you can call whenever a problem arises. Call 01 912 8882 or use the contact form on our website to get started.

Drain Responsibility in Clondalkin
Uisce Éireann maintains the public sewer network; as a property owner in Clondalkin, you are responsible for the private pipework running from your property all the way to where it meets the public sewer main. That private run includes the length outside your boundary, under the garden, footpath or road, right up to the public sewer. Where several properties drain into one shared pipe, Uisce Éireann's position is that all properties contributing to the flow share responsibility for a blockage in that shared section.
If a blockage is found to be in the public sewer, Uisce Éireann clears it, and their published expectation is that sewer flooding on the public side is dealt with generally within 24 hours of being reported. To report a blockage or sewer flooding on the public side, contact Uisce Éireann on 1800 278 278.
