Roundstone hit with boil notice

Another cryptosporidium outbreak, this time in the Roundstone area.

Another cryptosporidium outbreak, this time in the Roundstone area.

Here we go again. E-coli in Knocknacarra. Back to third world water supplies for the next, oh, two months?

…it isn’t. Surprise surprise, Galway City Council have announced that they won’t have a safe supply by next Friday after all. Not content with deliberately neglecting Galway’s water supply for ten years (to be fair the County Council are equally complicit in that one) we now are guaranteed a third world water supply at the peak of the tourist season.
Prospective tourists should be assured that most hotels and restaurants have their own filtration systems in place and provide safe clean water. The people of Galway, however, will have to make do with continuing to buy water.
