Jim Fitzgerald, Regional Asset Operations Manager for Irish Water said: "The Boil Water Notice remains in place while tests and investigations are ongoing. We understand that this is not an ideal situation for homes and businesses around Carlow and parts of Wicklow and Kildare but public health is our number one priority. We are working as quickly as we can to resolve the situation with our colleagues in the various Local Authorities but until we have satisfactory results and have liaised with the HSE, the BWN must remain in place to protect public health."
