Sat 11 Nov 2009Supply to 40% of Cork city disrupted
WATER QUALITY:WATER AUTHORITIES across the State were last night engaged in emergency checks of water quality as floods posed a potential contamination risk to supplies.
Large areas of the western side of Cork City which were flooded included the city’s water treatment plant on the Lee Road. As a result, Cork City Council could not treat water, and about 40 per cent of the city experienced supply disruption yesterday. The council said this figure could worsen as the available treated water in the reservoirs was consumed.
