Decision expected on lifting of boil water notice

The HSE, the Environmental Protection Agency, Irish Water and Fingal County Council will review test results which are due back today from samples at the Leixlip Water Treatment Plant.

A test carried out last week returned satisfactory, but the HSE and EPA requested more tests be conducted. Irish Water said the current problem was the result of very heavy rainfall that washed large amounts of organic matter into reservoirs. This increased the turbidity or cloudiness of the source water at the Leixlip plant.

It has left over 615,000 people in parts of Dublin, Kildare and Meath under instruction to boil water before use.
