Frustration mounts at Irish Water in South Kilkenny
Cllr Pat Dunphy has expressed renewed frustration at the news that Irish Water have not yet responded to concerns raised in relation to the water scheme in the Mooncoin area.
At last month's meeting of Piltown Municipal District Council, Cllr Dunphy referred to the numerous water leaks occurring in the Mooncoin area, leaving residents without water for extended periods on a very regular basis.
He stated that this was not acceptable, the only solution being to put a programme in place to replace pipes in the area in order to solve this ongoing problem.
All the members were in support of Cllr Dunphy, noting similar issues in the past in the Slieverue and Dournane areas, which have been resolved following upgrades to infrastructure in these areas.
Cllr Dunphy proposed at that meeting that a representative from Irish Water be requested to attend a meeting of the Piltown MD to discuss and try to resolve this issue as a matter of urgency. This was agreed.
Councillors were then told at this month's meeting that Irish Water have yet to respond on the matter.
It was subsequently agreed by council officials to follow-up with Irish Water on the matter.
