Irish Water has imposed a boil water notice on Macroom residents for nearly three weeks at this stage. The notice relates to high turbidity, which means Irish Water is not able to give a clear result. Great credit is due to the crews that are working weekends and long evenings trying to get the plant operational but the plant is not suitable. There is talk of getting an upgrade. In the meantime, there is a lot of stress and hassle on residents and businesses but there is also the issue of cost, especially with the high electricity rates. It is all down to Irish Water's own plant not functioning correctly. In the meantime, should Irish Water not be paying an electricity credit to these residents and businesses that are at a loss due to its plant? Fad is atá na srianta leanúnacha seo i Maigh Chromtha, toisc chóras lochtach Uisce Éireann, nár chóir d'Uisce Éireann na costais leictreachais atá ag daoine dá bharr a íoc?
