But we live in a housing estate and there is a pump house, so we're depending on a well.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

The pump house was originally built for the first phase of the homes in 2004.

It's not just for purpose, though.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

It was built originally for about 15 to 20 homes.

Liveline
"I burst into tears because I couldn't boil the ham" Uisce Éireann Problems

We now have about 300 to 400 residents on that line and another housing estate was put onto it.
