The operation and management of public water services infrastructure is a matter for the relevant local authority.

Accordingly, information on the number of public wastewater treatment plants and the level of treatment at each plant in Cork county is available from Cork County Council. The most recent EPA publication Urban Waste Water Discharges in Ireland – A Report for the Years 2004 and 2005, a copy of which is available in the Oireachtas Library, also gives details of treatment plants and the level of treatment serving all agglomerations with a population equivalent over 500 in each county.
