Irish Water has issued a 'Boil Water Notice' for consumers supplied by the Castlepollard Low Level Public Water Supply in County Westmeath.

The Boil Water Notice affects approximately 4000 people supplied by the Ballany Water Treatment Plant, also known locally as the Castlepollard Low Level Public Water Supply. The areas affected include Castlepollard, Delvin, Collinstown, Coole, Raharney, and surrounding areas.

The Boil Water Notice has been put in place as a precaution following a mechanical issue with the chlorination system at the Ballany water treatment plant that resulted in the disinfection process being compromised. Irish Water’s drinking water compliance and operational experts are working with colleagues in Westmeath County Council to resolve the issue as quickly and as safely as possible.
