It affects 4,000 customers in the wider Castlepollard area.
A boil water notice has been issued in Westmeath with immediate effect.
Customers supplied by the Castlepollard Low Level Public Water Supply are affected.
That includes about 4,000 people in the Castlepollard, Delvin, Collinstown, Coole, and Raharney areas.
