Cork County Council treats and supplies water in compliance with the European Communities (Drinking Water) Regulations, 2000 (S.I. 439 of 2000) to approximately 40,000 non-domestic customers and 100,000 homes across the county. Due to our size Cork County has three 'Sanitary Authorities' - one each for South, North and West Cork Divisions. Town Councils in County Cork as elsewhere around the country were until recently their own 'Sanitary Authority'.
