Take note.
Another boil notice has been issued for 600,000 people that are living in Dublin, Kildare and Meath.
The notice applies to homes and businesses that are supplied by the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant.
The warning has been issued due to heavy rain which has impacted the water quality at the Leixlip reservoir.
Irish Water said: “Due to heavy rain, turbidity (cloudy water due to suspended particles levels) in the source water for the old Leixlip Plant exceeded acceptable levels.
“Plant operators reacted quickly before alarms were activated and shut down the old plant to stop this water entering the network. There were no issues at the new plant, where the level of turbidity was managed by the newer technology on site.
“It was essential to re-start production at the old plant, which produces 20% of drinking water for Dublin, otherwise significant restrictions and outages would be inevitable.
“As Irish Water cannot guarantee the quality the water from the old plant, a Boil Water Notice is now in place.”
