    Hi,
    Four houses on a communal waste drain. 
    Drain blocked twice this week and about 2 months ago. Ongoing over last 20 years periodically.

    Fourth house has been found to be the location of the blockage, rubble in drain. Full camera survey carried out to locate obstruction. Three different pipes used to camera survey, three different access points so we're fairly sure where it is.

    Fourth house (Last in line before drains join main drain) has built patio over manhole or it is just under their Conservatory.

    What can we do to resolve situation please.

    Hi there,

    Thank you for getting in touch and we are sorry to hear this.

    It seems that the obstruction in the drain is within the curtilage of a private property and it is not the responsibility of Irish Water. The drain is the joint responsibility of all four properties that use it. We recommend that you arrange among yourselves for a solution/repair to be carried out.

    If the party in whose property the obstruction lies is uncooperative then you may have to take legal advice on how to proceed in this situation.

    I hope this helps and once again we are sorry for any inconvenience this is causing you.

    Kind regards,
    Agata
