Galway Bay fm newsroom - A boil water notice has been issued for the public water supply for Kilkerrin- Moylough following advice from the Health Service Executive.
Group schemes are also affected by the notice - these include Lecarrow/Cooloo, Elmhill, Mullaghmore, Shankill and Fartown.
The boil water notice has been implemented by the county council and Irish Water as persistent rain over the last few days has caused a deterioration in the raw water source.
As a result the plant serving the Kilkerrin-Moylough supply is currently unable to produce fully compliant water.
Over 15 hundred households are affected by the boil notice and Irish Water says it's working to ensure a safe supply of water is restored.
In the meantime, water users are directed to boil water before drinking, preparing foods such as salads, brushing teeth and making ice.
