QUESTION NO. 25

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the CEO if he has maintained contacts to ensure that the quality of the water supply into our County does not create any concerns; will he give assurances and make a statement?

REPLY:

Public water supplies are tested and monitored in accordance with the European Union Drinking Water Regulations 2014 legislation (as amended).  Sampling plans are in place for each water supply and Uisce Éireann agree these with the Environmental Protection Agency on an annual basis. 

Information on drinking water quality, including latest water quality reports, can be found on Uisce Éireann's website www.water.ie 

SDCC Water Services maintains close contacts with Uisce Éireann regarding the quality of public water supplies, and works with them to address any issues where necessary.

Members are reminded that Uisce Éireann is the national water services authority responsible for water supply and wastewater drainage, and that they have a Local Representative Support Desk that members can contact at: localrepsupport@water.ie
