A North Clare drinking water supply has failed to comply with E.Coli standards for the second year in a row. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's latest annual report Monreagh-Tubber was among the 3% of private schemes nationwide to test positive for the bacteria, which can lead to serious gastrointestinal illness. It's understood the Monreagh-Tubber supply has been operating under a boil water notice for the last year and that it will be connected to the public mains in the coming months. EPA Wastewater and Drinking Water Inspector, Michelle Roche has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan however that the outlook for Clare is positive.
