Investigation ongoing as turbidity issues hit North Cork village's water supply 

Turbidity, or cloudiness of water, is caused by the presence of suspended solids and inspection found turbidity levels had risen rapidly at a treatment plant borehole — one of two sources of drinking water for the village of Killavullan

An EPA report noted there had been another spike in turbidity at the plant on May 7, when it was over nine times the recommended level.

An audit of the drinking water supply for a North Cork village which has experienced two extended boil water notices this year said an investigation into the cause of the problem is ongoing.

The public water supply for Killavullen, Co Cork, which serves a population of over 830, still has a boil water notice in place which was introduced on May 2 due to turbidity issues.
