Reported on local radio station Clare FM this morning:
'Ennis businesses register their dissatisfaction over water.
It has emerged that one in four of Ennis businesses have refused to pay their water rates to the town council.
An audit of Ennis Town Council's accounts has revealed that just 74% of water rates have been collected due to issues the town manager believes "reflects the level of reaction to difficulties that were incurred with the water supply.
"
Tom Coughlan made the comments in a report in this morning's Irish Examiner which also quotes the local government auditor as being most dissatisfied with the findings.
There is currently a partial boil notice on the Ennis Water Supply for young children, those who have low immune systems and visitors to the town.
