Summary
Residents in Ballinure and Blackrock are furious over persistent foul odors from the Mahon wastewater plant, blaming years of neglect — including a missing gas detector and broken ventilation fans. Uisce Éireann claims to be investing 1.6 million euros to fix the issues, but admits the new monitoring system isn’t fully operational and upgrades won’t happen until 2027. Over 100 locals have formally complained to the EPA, demanding immediate action. While the company says low levels of hydrogen sulfide aren’t toxic, residents and officials insist they’re suffering real health and quality-of-life impacts — and want relief now, not later.
