UPDATE: Boil water notice, issued to 11,000 Tipperary customers, lifted by Uisce Éireann

The notice has been in place in parts of Clonmel since Tuesday, April 29

The Boil Water Notice on the Glenary Public Water Supply supplying parts of Clonmel has been lifted with immediate effect.

Uisce Éireann can confirm that, following consultation with the HSE, customers on this supply can now resume normal use of the public water supply.

This follows consistent satisfactory sampling results.

The areas supplied by Glenary include parts of Clonmel Town centre and surrounding areas including Cashel Road, Cahir Road and Ring Road, as well the Kilcomma and Finger Post areas in Co. Waterford.

The Boil Water Notice was issued on 29 April to protect the health of approximately 11,000 customers following operational issues which affected treatment at the water treatment plant for a short period of time.

Uisce Éireann’s Jim Fitzgerald acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community, saying: "Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice had on customers on the Glenary Public Water Supply."

"I would like to thank them for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift the Boil Water Notice as quickly as it was safe to do so.

"I would also like to thank the Elected Representatives and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the period of this boil water notice."

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.
