Slurry detected in drinking water in Waterford town

A boil water notice was issued in a small Waterford town after slurry was detected in the drinking water supply.

Discoloured water, from an old disused spring, had leaked into a treated water reservoir in Kilmacthomas.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted an audit of the town’s public water supply when a complaint was made about the taste of the water.
