E. coli has been detected in the water supply serving the North Tolsta area on the Isle of Lewis, affecting 218 properties, Scottish Water has confirmed.
Following consultations with NHS Western Isles, Scottish Water is advising residents to boil their water before drinking or using it for cooking. The utility is also providing bottled water to the affected area.
Scottish Water stated that it is working to resolve the issue and will continue to monitor the situation closely. Residents are urged to follow the boil water notice until further notice.
