Council lifts water warning

LIMERICK County Council, following consultation with the Health ServiceExecutive, yesterday removed a drinking water alert which had affected 2,000 residents in the heritage village of Adare, Co Limerick.

The notice was put in place last Friday following the detection of a deterioration in the water quality coming from the village water treatment plant.

Extensive testing by the council’s environmental laboratory has shown that the quality of the supply is meeting all required health standards.
