Drinking Water Problems in Clontarf and Coolock

Thousands of people remain without drinking water in two areas in Dublin. Since last week residents in some areas of Clontarf have been asked to boil their drinking water and cooking water whilst further tests are carried.  Now an apparent separate issue of water contamination has been identified in parts of Coloock according to the Herald.

Dublin City Council report that tests have shown no presence of the harmful bacteria E-Coli however have identified larger than acceptable levels of total coliforms.  Water tankers have been deployed in the effected areas

EWT expect the level of chlorine in the water to be increased in the next few days to help kill the bacteria, this will lead to a unpleasant chemical taste in the water in the next few weeks but the water will be safe from a bacteria point of few.
