1) This is an important report from @EPAIreland

The EPA is one of #IrishWater's regulators. Its job is to ensure IW does its job and provides us with clean, safe water

But after the Leixlip debacle it says it wants stronger enforcement powers

2) …Ireland’s river water is deteriorating badly.

Only 53% (and declining) is now deemed “satisfactory”.

Groundwater is FAR better – 92% (and improving) is “good”.

Yet, despite plentiful groundwater nearby, Dublin gets 99% of its water from RIVERS.

And #IrishWater’s plan?

3) #IrishWater cd develop some of the groundwater (wells) on Dublin’s doorstep and give Dublin some vital DIVERSIFICATION

Instead it wants to pump yet more RIVER water from the Shannon, making Dublin even MORE exposed to rivers than it already is

Does this make sense?
