A LOCAL councillor has expressed her frustration as another burst water main in Ardfert affected the local water supply yesterday evening.
Cllr Deirdre Ferris said it a constant issue for the residents and business community in the Ardfert area.
“This is the sixth water outage in Ardfert Village and the greater Ardfert area since October that councillors have been notified about. Numerous calls have been made by Councillors for Irish Water to come and speak to the democratically elected members of Kerry County Council about Ardfert and similarly affected areas of the county, but as of yet our calls have fallen on deaf ears.

“Since water services have been outsourced to Irish Water there seems to be little or no accountability anymore. I am calling on the Council Executive to request an urgent meeting with Irish Water to address the issues in Ardfert and other affected areas of the county,” she said.
Kerry County Council said the pipe will be repaired on Friday morning and the supply should be fully restored by lunch time.
