Following advice from the HSE, Irish Water and Mayo County Council have issued a Boil Water Notice for the area supplied by the Clare Island Public Water Supply to protect approximately 165 people following a recent drinking water quality test.

The Boil Water Notice has been put in place due to the detection of cryptosporidium in the Clare Island Public Water Supply.

Experts from Irish Water and Mayo County Council are working to assess the situation and investigate and implement solutions to lift the notice as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, all customers of this supply are advised to boil water before use until further notice.
