COUNCIL ENGINEERS TO MEET INIS OIRR CO OP
Date Published: 16-Sep-2011
Council engineers will travel to Inis Oírr next week in an effort to solve the ongoing problem of water shortages on the Island. (21/09)
Islanders have been forced to restrict their water use for several weeks now, and are unable to drink the tap water for two weeks because of salt contamination.
A lack of rainfall on the island has left reservoirs at critically low levels, a common problem every year.
A new source of water is being used to fill the reservoir, however Galway county council will continue to deliver bottled water until the supply is fully restored.
Councillor Sean Ó Tuairisg says the Island co-op is considering several ways of solving the water crisis
