Locals fear contamination of drinking water
In a report issued yesterday, Cork County Council said it taken test samples from some of the lagoons at Ballard, Araglin. Officials said that pollutants of “varying concentrations” had been identified and in most, “but not all cases” they came within safe limits for drinking water.
Locals are concerned that some pollutants may have leaked into the water table and their fear has been heightened by the fact that a national school is only 500 yards from the site.
