BREAKING: Uisce Eireann lift boil water notice in two areas of Tipperary and Offaly

Uisce Éireann have lifted a boil water notice on the Roscrea Regional and Shinrone/Brosna Public Water Supplies.

Uisce Éireann can confirm that, following consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers on these supplies can now resume normal use of the water supply. 

The notice, which was issued on Friday, April 5, was put in place to protect the health of customers on these supplies following poor water quality in the Little Brosna River, with elevated levels of ammonia which impacted treatment processes at the water treatment plant.

The notice impacted customers in Roscrea town and surrounds, Glenbeha, Camlin, Scart, Gortmulin, Thesheehys, Derrymore, Racket Hall, Monaincha, Pintown, Irby, Borris and surrounding areas in County Tipperary. 

In county Offaly, customers in Cooleeshill, Killavilla, Whitepark, Sheehane, Cloonagh, Shinrone Village, Brosna, Dungar and surrounding areas were also impacted by this Boil Water Notice.

Uisce Eireann’s Colin Cunningham acknowledged the impact of the notice on customers 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 and we worked with our stakeholders to lift the notice as quickly as possible. 

“We are grateful to our customers, elected representatives and the media for their assistance in sharing information on the boil water notice in recent days,” said Mr Cunningham
