"I have been contacted by a number of rural dwellers who were concerned by the large rise in their water bills.

"I have since contacted the water service and have voiced the concerns of those consituents.

Cllr Hearty concluded by encouraging anyone who feel that there is a mistake on their bills to contact their local Sinn Féin office before the meeting on the 20th
