Boil water notices issued to 15,000 people and businesses in Connemara and east Cork
Irish Water has identified cryptosporidium contamination in Carraroe’s public supply in Connemara.
The discovery came as ten thousand homes and businesses in Cork were issued with boil water notices over fears of contaminated drinking water.
The State utility has advised some 4,700 people dependent on the public supply in Carraroe to boil their water until further notice.
This follows a similar notice issued for Leitir Móir/Tír an Fhia in south and west Connemara in January.
