Irish Water is continuing work on the Tallanstown Public Water Supply (PWS) in County Louth.

This project is being delivered to improve and safeguard the supply for the people served by the Tallanstown PWS.

The utility has announced the Boil Water Notice will remain in place until further notice, affecting approximately 2,000 people. The areas impacted include Tallanstown, Louth Village, Knockbridge, Carnalogue, Mills of Louth, Knockdillon and surrounding areas.

Louth County Council and Irish Water's drinking water and operational experts are working with the Health Service Executive and the Environmental Protection Agency to lift this BWN as quickly and as safely as possible.

The BWN was put in place as a precautionary measure following issues with the treatment process which impacted on the disinfection process at the Water Treatment Plant. This led to inadequate chlorination of the public water supply.

The performance of the water treatment plant and water quality monitoring is continuing to ensure consistent water treatment so that the Boil Water Notice can be lifted as soon as possible.
