In 2013, after putting up with years of very low water pressure, the people of Kildorrery thought they were progressing towards a resolution, but now, a year on, the problem is still rife and over the past few weeks, the pressure has been so low that people cannot use washing machines, showers or dishwashers.

"This is very frustrating for residents considering all the effort they went to and the promises that were made to fix the problem in 2013. It seems that while the system is now stable in relation to leaks, the pressure is still not fit for purpose," Secretary of the Kildorrery Water Committee, Pat O'Brien said.

The problem with the water pressure got worse in early May of last year where frequent breaks were causing water stoppages two, three and four times a week throughout the summer.
