, On 4 November 2013, a Senior Water Quality Inspector acting on behalf of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, inspected the Combined Storm Overflow (CSO) discharge points in the Dundrum area.

The discharge occurred due to one pump running but not pumping as the result of an airlock and the other pump being unavailable as it was awaiting repair from 29 October 2013. This situation contravened the conditions of a Water (NI) Order 1999 ‘consent to discharge’ issued in respect of the installation.
