EPA to prosecute Irish Water over drinking water issues in Co Cork

Irish Water is facing prosecution by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in connection with drinking water problems in Co Cork.

It faces charges that following a direction given on June 5, 2015 in respect of supply of drinking water at Drimoleague and Kealkill, it failed to submit final reports to the EPA before the end of 2018, verifying that trihalomethanes (THMs) levels were not excessive.
