BOIL WATER NOTICE ISSUED IN BALLINASLOE

Date Published: 19-Nov-2009

A Boil Water Notice has been issued for Ballinasloe and its surrounding areas following torrential downpours over the last few days.

The notice comes amid concerns that untreated water could get into the public drinking water system in Ballinasloe.

The River Suck burst its banks yesterday causing severe flooding and huge disruptions to traffic and business in Ballinasloe.

Galway County Council is concerned that water levels surrounding the water treatment plant in Ballinasloe are dangerously high.

It's urging all users of the Ballinasloe water supply to boil the water before use.
