Cork's dirty water problem: Irish Water announces another major blast of pipe flushing
Uisce Éireann regional operations manager for the southwest, Brian O’Leary said: 'We continue to advise customers not to drink discoloured water and to contact us directly with any reports of discolouration to help us manage the response in real time and to prioritise reactive works.'
Uisce Éireann has announced another major blast of pipe flushing on Cork’s northside from this weekend and insists that progress is being made in solving the city’s dirty water problem.
It has also announced plans to install a new “conditioning system” on the city’s new €40m water treatment plant on the Lee Road to further reduce the risk of the treated water dislodging any remaining sediment.
