Dún Árd residents: ‘No water meters until leaking pipe is repaired’

Residents on the northside of Cork City have vowed to resist the installation of water meters until a water pipe in their estate which they say has been leaking for over a decade, is repaired.

The residents of the 52-house Dún Árd estate in Mayfield, several of whom rent their homes from Cork City Council, attended a public meeting last night to organise their resistance.

Irish Water plans to begin installing meters in the nearby Silversprings area next week, before moving to Mayfield.
