Tue 08 Aug 2008Boil-water notices to remain in north Kerry
Boil-water notices will remain in place in parts of north Kerry for the rest of the week and local residents have been asked to conserve water following the recent landslide.
The landslide of elevated blanket bog in the Stacks Mountains polluted water courses, killed thousands of wild salmon and trout and left close to 30,000 people without water supplies.
The slow slide, which began on Friday afternoon, came to a stop late on Saturday night, reaching over two kilometres in length and up to 55m wide in places.
