There is direct utility evidence linking Cork’s Lee Road plant with the River Lee. Following the city’s wider network requires more than looking at the river on a map.
A release date is not a sampling year, and customer reports are not laboratory results. Cork’s official records provide useful examples of both distinctions.
Cork’s original plant upgrade, later additions and continuing network work have separate timelines. Keep the named asset, date and reported stage together.
