Clontarf Water Restriction Now Lifted
Dublin City Council have today announced that all water restrictions in Clontarf and Coolock have now been lifted, confirming that the water is safe to drink.
Residents of 1,400 homes in St Lawrence’s water district metre area in Clontarf have had to boil their drinking water since the council issued a boil notice on 2nd August.
Water samples detected high levels of coliform bacteria in the supply, which were above the standards required by water supply regulations.
Leaflets are being hand delivered to every water consumer in the affected area today to confirm resolution of the issue.
The council confirmed last night that a separate problem with water quality in the Moatfield Road area in Coolock in north Dublin has been resolved, and there is no further need to boil the water before using it for drinking or cooking.
