Irish Water apologises as boil water notice continues

The Water Forum has said there is an over reliance on the Liffey to supply Dublin with drinking water.

More than 600,000 people will have to continue to boil their water until at least Tuesday due to ongoing problems at the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and HSE carried out an audit of the treatment plant yesterday and made the decision to keep a boil water notice in place as more work is required to ensure the water is safe to drink.
