A boil water notice is still ongoing in Mountcharles despite the issue being fixed since Thursday.
Irish Water took a sample of water on Friday, and it is believed they sent the sample to a lab in Kerry, despite there being a number of labs locally who could have provided the service.
The situation is now impacting local businesses and restaurants, who cannot provide services while the water notice is in place.
Independent Cllr Jimmy Brogan has contacted Irish Water for an update.
