The review will look at the city council's management of the Old Terryland Water Treatment Plant and the council's performance since the boil water notice was imposed on 15th March last yearCouncillors have until the end of February to add questions to the review.Last September's E-Coli outbreak in Knocknacarra will also be reviewed.
