    Well heres the latest update.
    <H3>Council declares civic emergency in Cork

    Saturday, November 21, 2009 - 06:38 PM

    A civic emergency has been declared in Cork after it emerged that the water supply to tens of thousands of people won't be turned back on until next weekend at the earliest.

    A major treatment plant which feeds the city's northside and Douglas suburb remains submerged under several metres of water.

    Schools in affected areas have been told they will have to remain closed, while there's growing concern over the risk to public health posed by a lack of sanitation.

    Cork's Lord Mayor, Darragh Murphy, hopes the southside neighbours of those affected will come to their aid.

    Gardaí are appealing to the elderly living on Cork's northside who can't get access to drinking water to contact them.

    A team of community gardaí is delivering bottled water to housebound residents affected by the flood damage to the city's domestic supply.

    but im wondering will it happen to the southside,

    My friend just text to say the water is going to be turned off in Mahon soon, any updates? I'm in Blackrock around the corner. Our water is quite dark. Does anyone have any recommendation of a good news site for flood updates? City council seems to be daily updates only.

    Lads dont belive any of the rumours yere hearing. Wait till theres something offical. But stock up on water now while ye still have it.

    Better to be looking at it than looking for it

    Just on 96fm there, all the rumours are false.

    If you have a water supply, it won't be cut off. Forget the rumours on Ballincollig, there false as well. Yer man PJ Coogan asked some main fella in Ballincollig about it, he said Ballincollig has it's own water supply and it wont be cut off
