However, 16 agglomerations still do not comply with the rules. The EU now requires Ireland to react within two months, or it risks being fined.<\/p>\n<p>Ireland is also struggling to comply with other European water Directives. In February 2023 the country was sent to court for failing to achieve compliance with the requirements of the Water Framework Directive. Ireland adopted the WFD in 2003 but did not legislate to regulate large-scale water abstraction from rivers and lakes for industry, commercial and other purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021 the European Commission referred Ireland to the European Court of Justice for failure to comply with the requirements of the Drinking Water Directive (DWD). The European Commission reported that in a number of water supply zones across the whole country, the levels of the chemical substance trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water are exceeded the parametric value established in the Drinking Water Directive. Trihalomethanes are formed as a by-product predominantly when chlorine is used to disinfect drinking water. High levels of trihalomethanes in the human body could have serious effects.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.waternewseurope.com\/ireland-at-risk-of-being-fined-over-insufficient-wastewater-treatment\/\">Water News Europe<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-638\/\">Ireland at risk of being fined over insufficient wastewater treatment<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,3345,17513],"class_list":["post-136393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ireland","tag-wastewater-treatment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136393\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
