A meeting of Clare County Council has heard that community-run systems providing water to rural homes are being unfairly charged for water testing. Sixmilebridge Fianna Fáil Councillor Alan O’Callaghan is calling for an end to the billing of group water schemes, of which there are 186 in the county, for water quality testing. The local authority says groups can be refunded for these costs once they are paid. Councillor O’Callaghan believes Uisce Éireann should be billing the Council directly.
