Irish Water has issued a notice for the area supplied by the Whitegate Public Water Supply to protect approximately 9,500 people following a recent drinking water quality test. This follows on from advice from the Health Service Executive.
It has been put in place as a precautionary measure due an issue with the filtration process at the plant. All customers are advised to boil water before use until further notice.

Irish Water and Cork County Council are working to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
Neil Smyth, Irish Water Operations Lead said: "We wish to apologise to the homes and businesses impacted by this Boil Water Notice. There have been previous water quality issues on this supply and we acknowledge the significant inconvenience this causes. We would like to assure the public that we are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Our priority is the provision of safe, clean drinking water and protecting public health."
