Cork city residents demand action as they face ninth day of dirty water

Water samples from taps this week in a home in the Mount Farran estate in Blackpool, Cork.

People on the northside of Cork city facing into their ninth day in a row with dirty water have pleaded for action, warning that the ongoing water problems are "taking a toll" on the community.

The residents of Mount Farran in Blackpool, whose dirty water problem was raised directly with the Taoiseach in the Dáil last week, have now written to public representatives this weekend, and complained again to Uisce Éireann, about the continued worsening of their water supply.
