Carlow water “safe” again
From RTE News:
People in Carlow who had to boil water before drinking it for the past 40 days have been advised the supply is now safe to drink.
The council was advised by the Health Service Executive to issue the ‘Boil Water’ notices 40 days ago after the cryptosporidium bug was detected in the supply.
It caused vomiting, cramps and diarrhoea and a number of people had to be hospitalised.
Carlow County Council has now lifted the notice but it still cannot say how the bug got into the water.
Not being able to use water for stuff like brushing teeth, washing dishes, etc for over a month without boiling it first was becoming quite a pain in the ass. Rampant rumours around Carlow mention a little something about several dead sheep being found in the reservoir around the time of the boil-water notice.
