Uisce Éireann has issued a Boil Water Notice for approximately 287 customers supplied by the Kilmagnier Public Water Supply Scheme in North Cork, following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE).

The notice has been put in place due to increased turbidity affecting the water treatment process at the Kilmagnier Water Treatment Plant. As a result, all affected consumers are being advised to boil their water before drinking in order to protect public health.
