Date Published: 05-Jun-2008
The boil water notice in the Clairnbridge area is being lifted today but will remain in place in Kilcolgan.
Traces of cryptosporidium were found in the public supply in Clairnbridge six months ago, and a boil notice has been in place since
The scheme was recently split in two and the Clairnbridge area is now being served by the Tuam Regional Water supply scheme.
After carrying out a number of tests the HSE is now satisfied with the quality of the water in this section
However the Kilcolgan area is served by the Kilcornan Spring and this water is still not fit for human consumption.
Intensive treatment works are being carried out on the supply but Council Director of Services for Water Jim Cullen could not specify when the boil notice will be lifted.
Mr Cullen says households still affected by the the boil notice will receive a letter today .

Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
