Do not consume notice issued in Arva
Uisce Éireann has issued a 'Do not consume' notice for customers supplied by the Arva Public Water Supply in Co Cavan due to elevated levels of manganese in the water entering the treatment plant. Residents should not use tap water for drinking, food preparation, cooking, or brushing teeth. An alternative water supply is available at Sacred Heart Church, Arva, but must be boiled before consumption. Update (Anglo Celt, 02.10.2026, 07:46): Boiling the affected tap water will not make it safe. The alternative water supply is available at the carpark of the Sacred Heart Church until further notice. Update (independent.ie, 06.10.2026, 08:30): The Do Not Consume notice was issued last Thursday due to health impacts, particularly for infants and young children. Emergency work has been initiated to restore a safe water supply.
