Issues Surrounding Water Quality and Supply: Discussion

Mr. Se?n Laffey:

The RAL was going well until Clareville and Srowland were included, and that added roughly 230,000 people to that number. Srowland is not producing poor water. The EPA has observed some operational issues there it would like us to fix. That has become a priority for the EPA so that has been added to the RAL. Srowland has not failed to date. It just has some operational issues the EPA would like us to look at. The Limerick plant at Clareville has gone because of THMs. That is an issue we are seeing at extremities of the network, and our teams already have an action plan. We hope to be able to resolve that issue rapidly.
