WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 12th OCTOBER 2010
Question
Would the Minister confirm if the new incinerator was damaged by the ingress of water into the building caused during the deluge in August 2010 when one inch of rain fell in three hours? Would he also confirm that the cause of the ingress was that the roof of the building had not been finished at the time of the rainstorm and advise members the cost of the damage incurred?
Answer
I can confirm that following the high rainfall in August there has been no damage to the installed works as a consequence of any ingress of water. Whilst it is true that the roof of the building was still under construction during the August 2010 deluge, our contractors, CSBC Jersey Limited, have confirmed to us that all necessary measures have been taken to safe guard the installed works until such time as the building is completed.
I can confirm that we have not incurred any costs associated with damage due to the excessive rainfall in August 2010.
