Mayo’s Clare island has been hit with a “boil water” notice after the detection of cryptosporidium in the public water supply.
The “boil water” notice takes immediate effect, Uisce Éireann (Irish Water) and Mayo Council have said.
This follows consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE) to protect the health of approximately 160 people on the island’s public water supply scheme.
The two bodies have said they are “working to implement solutions to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible in consultation with the HSE”.
