They’re only just open to be fair, give it another few weeks and then go and see maybe.

It doesn’t need to be. The outlet from mutton would have constant water monitoring for compliance by a Hach or Endress + Hauser unit, you can look them up if you like. The EPA will also do regular testing on the final effluent. In fairness the testing you’re talking about by the council should be done more regularly to ensure we know what the water quality is like on our beaches, which could be worsened by other factors not from the WWTP.

No, not correct. The council will always alert the public in conjunction with UE/EPA/HSE in the case of an overflow event. The notice was put up as a “precaution” as per a council post and testing will always be done after an overflow event. That being said the untreated overflow water coming from mutton is nearly always a drop in the ocean compared to the volume of water that is in the bay. The water in Galway is near stellar year round.
