Would you believe that the tap water in Carlow is just as bad as drinking from a dirty faucet in the UK? The answer is a big ''no''. This area of Ireland is surrounded by Great British territory and benefits from access to world-class river and lake sources. However, over recent years this has all changed and there are major health and safety problems with tap water quality that you need to be aware of.
Tap Water Quality in Carlow has been known to vary considerably over the years and was a major cause of concern for health and environmental groups, when it was discovered that the supply had been coming from waste material from a plastic factory. This resulted in the plant being shut down, which in turn had a serious impact on the quality of tap water available to the people of Carlow. As a result, the government introduced regulations in 2020 which brought an end to the long standing disregard for quality that had been the norm over the previous few decades. Thes
