Irish Water abandons polluted Loch Illauntrasna, Lettermore, Co Galwayhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/105667#comment3007632016-02-10T09:57:35+00:00Hibernian ScribeI reside on Gorumna Island, Lettermore, Co Galway.

The reservoir lake, Loch Illauntrasna, is replete with algae and one septic tank is located in this
lake another five septic tanks are located above the same lake and empty into it daily. The algae
in the lake is complemented by five barrels of chlorine added at bizarre intervals (it is not
measured) to the water exiting this lake for human consumption which results in a toxic water
supply which everyone boils or filters. Algal water plus chlorine generates a carcinogen which
causes bladder cancer. I have the specific references, however, I expect you will disregard
all scientific evidence.

I do not use the water from Loch Illauntrasna, Gorumna Island, Co Galway. I harvest rain water
and I buy water from Galway Water, Headford Road, Galway every two weeks. I retain the
receipts. The electricity supply was interrupted 35 times in the 7 years I have lived here which
automatically reduces the water flow, this is important. The amount of leaks from the water pipes
within 1 and 2 km of Loch Illauntrasna is alarming. The road surfaces are poorly repaired and are
re-visited by local operatives to dig up and fill in with comic regularity. The complete shut off of the
water supply irregularly for many hours makes me feel so very welcome to Lettermore! Irish Water
will inherit this serious public health issue.

I remind you that you seek submissions prior to May 16, 2014. I wrote to all of the Galway TDs. I
received an excellent written reply in response to a question in Dail Eireann to an Taoiseach as to
the future water supply in this area from Casla, Co Galway.

I do not now provide or ever will provide permission for Irish Water to install a water meter. Irish
Water are in contravention of the 1995 Consumer Protection Law on this lack of consent issue
alone. Irish Water have no right to impose water meters installed on public land and charge
private owners of land for water which falls freely from the air.

I expect nothing from the Commission for Energy Regulation thus and therefore I will not be
disappointed.
