9-month wait to fix ‘Third World’ water supply

Hard-pressed residents of a Cork village must wait at least nine more months before work is undertaken to fix their "Third World" water supply.

For the last few years, the people of Kildorrery have had to endure multiple breaks in their mains, or, a trickle of water due to poor pressure.

They were told a major upgrade of their water supply infrastructure would take place earlier this year, but then county councillors were informed a contractor will not be on site until next April, at the earliest.
