No longer 'at risk', but problems persist at Cork water treatment plant
The Lee Road water treatment plant provides drinking water to over 87,000 people in Cork City.
The water treatment plant which supplies drinking water to Cork City has been removed from a list of public water supplies considered “at risk” following an audit by the State environmental watchdog.
However, the audit by the Environmental Protection Agency revealed that tanks and reservoirs at the upgraded Lee Road water treatment plant are still not suitably protected against contamination.
