/> Water restrictions remain in place in parts of the northside of Dublin today.

It is over a week since the Health Service Executive (HSE) and Dublin City Council ordered residents in Clontarf to boil water if using it for drinking and cooking.

Dublin City Council carried out further tests yesterday and are awaiting the results to determine the safety of the water for consumption.

New water valves were also put in place on the mains in the affected area over the weekend in a bid to improve circulation.

The exact cause of the contamination has not yet been determined.

However no other parts of the capital are believed to be affected.
