Cork City Council representatives have called on Irish Water to appear before its Environment, Amenity and Water Committee to answer claims made about dark brown water coming from taps in some homes in parts of Cork city

There have been numerous reports of water tinged with a strong dark-brown hue coming from taps in parts of the city over the past few months - drawing comparisons online to tea.

"The discolouration normally lasts for an hour or so and then the water is back to normal. We’ve lived in our home in The Lough for almost 10 years and this had never happened before until this year. It’s a little bit worrying." In a statement, Irish Water said that discolouration can occur for a number of reasons, such as old infrastructure, bursts and network improvement works.

Irish Water is continuing to investigate intermittent customer complaints and has carried out extensive testing and sampling of water supplies throughout Cork city.
