This morning.
Leixlip, County Kildare.

Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy has revealed the Government considered shutting-off the water supply for homes and businesses that receive their water from this plant, but decided a boil water notice would be less inconvenient.

Further tests have been taken to determine the levels of contamination and results will be published within 48 hours. It is believed the water had high levels of bacteria which breach the minimum health standards due to adverse weather conditions, faecal matter and overflow from drains…”

Just thought I’d show you this from my home (near Trim, Co Meath). This is the water we are supposed to be paying water rates for.
No photo manipulation at all involved, used the kitchen roll as colour comparison. The bubbles are because it’s straight from the tap. I literally filled the glass and put it down, this ain’t beer…
