Portlaw Water Crisis Deepens | Ireland News

Seventy-four homes in Portlaw are hit with a boil water notice starting Friday, August 14th, after years of conflict between residents, the water company, and the developer. Campion is pulling out over stalled fee negotiations — bills jumped 70% from $250 to $425 in one year, sparking outrage and resistance. Councillor Catherine Burke, who’s fought for public water access since 2013, says the estate was meant to be handed over to the council but remains privately served because the well sits on developer land. A new contractor is pending resident approval, while Uisce Éireann promises a project manager by year-end and completion by Q3 2027. Burke urges swift agreement on payments and faster progress, though skeptics worry about delays and funding. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
