Rosscommon drinking water alert 27th May

Hi all,

Noticed this item in the Irish Independant, drinking water in parts of the county needs to be boiled to avoid the possibility of Cryptospiridium.

Wonder if you got some in your tank would it continue to cause the potential for illness indefinitly, or until you disinfected your tank.

Hate to think of paying for bottled water, which in my opinion is an expensive con. It doesn't meet EU quality standards for tap water anyway.

We usually drink the 'local' water wherever we are.

Makes a mockery of the old adage never drink the water when abroad.

To kill off crypto in the tank you will need Hypochlorous acid,
its got a very short shelf life so it will need mixing just before putting it into the tank, are you in trouble?

A year or two back there was a breakout of the Cryptospiridium in Belfast's water supply and the authorities supplied bottled water and tankers to the locals to stop them drinking it until they got it sorted.
