Date Published: 17-Sep-2007
The Knocknacarra boil water notice has been lifted.
Galway city council lifted it within the past hour following negative test results for e-coli in the water supply.
It was contaminated during a planned water diversion by the City council on drainage works on the Clybaun Road last Tuesday.
Galway city councillors are seeking a full report explaining precisely how and why e-coli got into the public water supply during routine procedures.
A special meeting is scheduled for next Monday to update councillors on both the cryptosporidium outbreak and the e-coli investigation.
