A number of local Councillors are worried that the running of Offaly's water and sewage system will become more centralised.
Mary Hussey of the environment section of Offaly County Council told the April meeting of Birr Municipal District that a service level agreement has been in place between Irish Water and the local authority since 2014 whereby Irish Water is in charge of the county's water and sewage services but it extensively uses the local knowledge and hardworking approach of the local authority's outdoor staff.
