A “do not drink” notice remains in place for water supply around Fethard in Tipperary, affecting both households and farms. It follows an accidental weather-related leak of kerosene heating oil into the River Anner which entered the local water treatment plant and put a kerosene odour on water supply. Irish Water said the notice will remain in place at least until next week.
There is partial supply but the water is not suitable for drinking or food preparation.
Farmers have switched to using wells. Glanbia brought in water by truck to a number of suppliers. Tipperary
County Council brought water to householders.

The unforeseen kerosene leak occurred at the depot of Mullinahone Oil, caused by weather damage to a storage tank. The company has apologised to the local community for the disruption and is working closely with Tipperary County Council to address it. It is a subsidiary of Mullinahone Co-op and supplies heating oil and others fuels to local customers including farmers.
