The Mogeely Water Treatment Plant, which supplies drinking water to surrounding communities, has been affected by poor raw water quality because of storm flooding.

Alternative water supplies will be in place at 8pm this evening. However, customers in the Mogeely, Castlemartyr and Ladysbridge areas are being reminded to boil water before consumption as a precaution.

Donegal was hit by snow, ice - and floods overnight.
