ALERT: More Kilkenny swimming locations close due to poor water quality
Kilkenny County Council has implemented a Bathing Advisory Notice
Further swimming warnings have been put in place in three County Kilkenny locations as a result of water quality tests.
A Bathing Advisory Notice has been implemented in Graignamanagh, Inistioge and Thomastown following a recommendation by Public Health Officials.
Water quality tests show high levels of bacteria present in these locations.
Once water quality results return to compliant, safe levels, the local authority will reopen Bathing Areas.
The latest developments follow a temporary bathing prohibition at The Weir, Bleach Road and at Bishops Meadows on the outskirts of Kilkenny City which were confirmed earlier this month. - READ MORE HERE
"Kilkenny County Council apologies for the impact the loss of these amenities have and are working to rectify as soon as possible to facilitate safe swimming," a council spokesperson said.
