Water Pollution Complaint Reporting

Water Pollution and Reporting

Invertebrates (or insects) live in our rivers, streams and lakes and they are good indicators of water pollution levels. These bugs like clean water and you know the water quality of these waterways by looking at the invertebrates that live in it.

Only 5% of rivers in County Laois are of High Status and only a little over half of our rivers are considered to be Good status. Its everyone’s job to help prevent and report water pollution if they come across pollution.

If you see water pollution please contact the Environment Section at :
