CLARE County Council has been brought to court, accused of al- lowing water untreated for the bug cryptosporidium into the Ennis wa- ter system.
The case is being brought by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) against the council in relation to a five-month period last year.
The council is accused of breach- ing an EPA directive to cease the practice of allowing water to bypass a new temporary treatment plant for cryptosporidium, between May | to October 21 last year.
Solicitor for Clare County Council
Marina Keane told Ennis District Court on Thursday that there was consent to adjourn the case until September.
“The parties require an adjourn- ment for the purpose of setting up a meeting to narrow the issues,” she said. Judge Joseph Mangan agreed to the adjournment.
