    Is Castleknock effected by the boil water notice? It’s not listed in the involved areas by RTE but doesn’t look to be coloured in on the map although map isn’t terribly clear?

    Given that all the areas around Castleknock are affected, I wouldn't take the chance that it's not affected.

    What I find weird is I know some areas in D15 don't suffer from lime and some do. I was told the latter supply is from meath the other from Wicklow.

    But these maps for this boil notice don't align with my experience of lime and hard water in the area.

    Seems like Irish water are very unclear about it all. Very poorly communicated. It's over half a million people effected. You'd think they'd be able to give more details.

    Use this map, the one released by IW is useless
    You can zoom to street level

    Another boil water notice just been announced by Irish Water. Seemingly heavy rain has caused problems at the Leixlip treatment plant.

    It's being reported by Richard Chambers and others on Twitter, but nothing from Irish Water directly yet.

    600,000 people affected again. Apparently water levels in the reservoirs dropped during the recent incident. They brought an older plant back into production to try and restore levels. However, turbidity levels increased following the recent rains and plant has had to be shut down. I imagine the boil water notice will be lifted quickly but extreme bad publicity for Irish Water

    Bit of a mess. Irish Water are tweeting that it’s in place while Irish Water customer care are tweeting that it’s been lifted.

    Edit: The ‘lifted’ tweets have been deleted.

    Irish water today tweeted that water needs to be 82c to be safe (which rules out most dishwashers) so I would say you need to use boiling water that's cooled a little but not much

    Not hot enough, you need to boil it in a pot or kettle

    Ah come on, dishwasher use as normal sure to be fine. We’re reaching a bit here.

    During the first boil notice a spokesperson from Irish Water was on the radio saying dishwasher use is fine. I’ve just searched on Twitter though and they’re saying you can only use it if it has a sanitising cycle.

    Yeah, never heard of it. We got a new dishwasher recently with all sorts of cycles so I must investigate later. We’ve been using our usual cycle during the boil notice and we’re grand.

    Am i missing something. Boil notice is only for drinking and cooking water. Not for washing etc. Fine for washing dishes or am i wrong.

    Officially, they're saying no dishwashers can be used unless it gets to 82 degrees.

    That's true, I thought the question was does immersion water meet the requirements of the boil water notice in general, I blame my headcold for not reading it properly, apologies!
