5,000 people in South Kilkenny have been hit with a Boil Water Notice.
Irish water say that it’s due to potentially inadequately disinfected water entering the Clonassy/Mooncoin Public Water Supply.
Water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth and washing food that’s not being cooked should be boiled and cooled first.
Irish water says the notice has come into immediate effect for the safety of people in Mullinavat, Fiddown, Mooncoin, and Kilmacow.
