Lough Anna outside Glenties.
A public meeting was held last night in Glenties by the Save Lough Anna group.
Over 250 people from Glenties, Ardara,Narin,Portnoo, Rosbeg and Fintown areas packed in to the community centre in Glenties.
There was a lot of anger in the room towards Irish Water and their proposal to decommission one of the best the best raw water source in the whole North West.
As the people in attendance made their points it became clear that this was a fight worth having and the room voted unanimously to join and fight the closure together.
One of the main points of contention was that Irish waters proposed alternative supply was from a source which has to be treated by multiple chemicals rather than the natural spring lake of Lough Anna.
"Just leave Lough Anna alone" was the words said most as this water source has been supplying these areas since 1925 with top quality drinking water.
One of the things we want is for Irish Water to reassess the whole situation with the help of locals so they can realise how passionate the people of the area are about their quality drinking water.
At the meeting a sub group of 25 people volunteered to sit and plan the way forward from here.
The next public meeting will be with all our elected representatives.
