Cork council plans for major housing schemes may be scuppered by water and sewerage issues
The council said while it can provide infrastructure such as roads, footpaths and lighting, it is entirely dependent on Uisce Éireann to supply it with the necessary water and sewerage connections for such developments.
Cork County Council is in talks with the national Land Development Agency (LDA) to purchase more land for urgently needed housing.
However, it has been warned it could be restricted in several areas for building as Uisce Éireann is not supplying it with plans for water and sewerage upgrades in the region.
