A number of local councillors are set to call on Kilkenny County Council with the support of Uisce Eireann to take action in a bid to improve the county's water infrastructure.
In a joint motion penned by Cllrs. Michael Doyle, Mary Hilda Cavanagh, Pat Dunphy, Fidelis Doherty, Joe Lyons, David Fitzgerald and John Brennan, they said: "In the context of the lack of necessary municipal wastewater infrastructure in the vast majority of our towns and villages across the county we call on Kilkenny County Council to accept the principle of developer led modular wastewater plants in towns and villages where there is a demand, desire and need for development.

"We further call on Minister for Housing, James Browne to direct Uisce Eireann to support the local authority in overseeing and ensuring the treatment systems are of acceptable standard, have acceptable maintenance plans and will be constructed in a manner whereby full connection will be possible to municipal plants when delivered."
The matter is expected to be discussed further at Monday's Plenary Meeting of Kilkenny County Council.
