Ballincollie road, junction just below the Glen GAA club. Ballyvolane, CORK
It's been leaking for weeks, and does quite often over the years, fun on frosty morning !!
PLEASE FIX

I regularly phone I.W. (01-7072828) about any leaks I see on Dublin streets and pavements.
Some are fixed "reasonably" quickly, others could take several phone calls.
What surprises me more is, usually when I phone them they haven't heard from anyone else about it, and hundreds if not thousands of people would have passed by it.

There is a proper way to report this (as posted earlier) and an Irish Water forum here on boards. What will posting here on the Cork City forum achieve? Just report them and they get fixed. Did it myself a couple of times and they got dealt with promptly.
Pointless putting them here and in fact potentilly counter-productive.

Didn't know that. Link might have been useful. IW don't exactly promote this facility either.

How is this counter-productive?

Reported it yesterday on the IW page. In fairness, I got a response this morning.

The self styled 'Irish Water' entity does not actually repair anything.
It is Cork City Council or Cork County Council that do the actual repair work.

Counter productive because someone might post here thinking they have done something useful to address a problem and hence do nothing else when in fact they have done nothing.
And in fairness, it is simple to google "report water leak" and it is the first result so doesn't need promoting as such. I would have thought it is kinda obvious in this day and age to find out something like that.

Well, strictly speaking that's not counter-productive - it may not be productive though.

You could have posted this in your original post, rather than waiting to be asked. The OP acted in good faith.

Ayway, the leak I spotted is now fixed. Well done to IW and the City Council for acting, esp. on a BH.

Not sure they need to promote it. Water leak, who should I call? The water company.

We had a blockage out on our road. Googled "report water leak" and got Irish water. Rang em up, and cork cc were out the next day to unblock it. Simple
