Irish Water wishes to advise that investigations are ongoing at Vartry Water Treatment Plant following reports from some customers in North Wicklow of an “earthy” taste and smell in their drinking water.
Irish Water has said the drinking water produced at the plant receives full chlorination and Ultra-Violet (UV) disinfection, meaning it does not contain any harmful bacteria, viruses, or protozoa.
The water produced at the plant is tested daily in conjunction with extensive monitoring in the distribution network.
However following these reports of abnormal taste and odour, Irish Water has arranged additional sampling on top of our normal water quality sampling programme as a precaution and continues to keep the situation under close review.
