    I'm curious as to where all the drinking water is coming from. Unsurprisingly there isn't a map on the internet showing all the water reservoirs in the area. There's one somewhere near quincentennial for the city I heard, where are the others?

    The 'sex cinema' in the Lisbaun industrial estate - where everything bad in the city comes from, apparently.

    Of course it's a genuine question. I'm not an idiot, of course I know about the Corrib, but is the Corrib providing the water to north west Galway as well as to the areas in the vicinity of it? And I was asking about the location of the drinking reservoirs not the actual lake. Are you having a laugh?

    The City’s water supply is sourced from the Terryland River as it flows out of the River Corrib.

    The raw water is extracted at Terryland and treated at the nearby Galway Water Treatment Plant or Waterworks.

    The treated water is then fed throughout the city area by a series of pumps and trunk mains.

    The distribution network comprises of 350km of mains, which distributes an average of 10.22 million gallons of water per day through the system.

    The City’s water supply is also used to serve some adjacent areas in Galway County.

    So it's to the Terryland River you need to go with your container of LSD.
