Cork households affected by lengthy boil water notices 'should be compensated' 

Unanimous support in county council for those who have suffered long-term inconvenience and agreement that they must get an alternative supply, tax credits 

DRAINING: The water quality in many parts of East Cork has been an issue for the last seven years.

Hundreds of householders throughout Co. Cork should get some form of compensation for being hit with repeated and lengthy boil water notices.

Cork county councillors want Irish Water to either provide an alternative supply and/or the government to provide additional tax credits to those who suffer such long-term inconvenience.
