Work on reservoir for rural village to begin

FOR nearly a generation, people living in a rural village have had to suffer a poor and intermittent water supply, often having to draw water from miles away or boil what comes out of their taps.

However, by the end of next year that will hopefully be a thing of the past.

Cork County Council has confirmed it is to start work on a €1 million reservoir for Conna by early next summer and hopes to have it finished by the end of 2012.
