New water bug outbreak in Co Galway

Apr 1, 2008

Residents in the village of Roundstone, Co Galway, say they are extremely concerned after an outbreak of the cryptosporidium parasite in the water supply.

Galway County Council has advised householders to boil all water before drinking it or using for food preparation.

Several hundred houses in the village and at two other places, Errisbeg and Inishnee, are affected.

The council has told affected residents to boil all tap water before drinking, food preparation or brushing teeth.

Tests were now being carried out to try to establish whether the contamination came from human or animal sources.
