Uisce Éireann under fire for 'sludge and filth' pouring from Cork City taps

Councillors said the utility had been under fire for weeks over persistent water discolouration problems affecting homes across the northside.

Sludge and filth is pouring from household taps across Cork’s northside, it has been claimed as Uisce Éireann was criticised for persistent discolouration of the drinking water in parts of the city.

The claim was made by Workers' Party councillor Ted Tynan as several members of Cork City Council slated the utility for not resolving the discolouration problems.
