Boil water notice lifted for local Tipperary town following satisfactory samples
Newport can resume regular water use.
Uisce Éireann wish to notify customers that the Boil Water Notice issued to customers supplied by the Newport Public Water Supply in Co Tipperary has been lifted with immediate effect.
The notice has been lifted following satisfactory sampling results. This decision follows consultation undertaken with the Health Service Executive.
The estimated 8,000 customers impacted by the Boil Water Notice to the Newport Public Water Supply, can now resume normal use of the public water supply.
The Boil Water Notice was issued in June 15 to protect the health of customers due to elevated levels of turbidity in the raw water supply which impacted the treatment process at the water treatment plant.
Uisce Éireann’s Colin Cunningham acknowledged the impact of the notice on homes and thanked the community for their support while we worked to lift the notice.
"Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health. We worked to lift the notice as quickly as it was safe to do so. We would like to thank customers for their cooperation and patience resolved the issues impacting the treatment plant."
“We are grateful to the media, elected representatives and members of the public for sharing our updates," he added.
The Uisce Éireann Customer Contact Centre, open 24/7 on freephone 1800 278 278, is available to answer queries in relation to the lifting of this notice. Further information is available on www.water.ie.
