The document discusses bathing water quality and management in Waterford City and County. It notes that water quality is impacted by sewage discharges, storm water runoff, and agricultural runoff. Chlorinating sewage overflows reduces E. coli levels by over 99.9%. Issues with communicating water quality information and test results are discussed, along with possible technical solutions like electronic signage linked to wastewater and rainfall monitoring. Interdepartmental cooperation between environment, water services, and other areas is thanked for water safety management.
