Boil water notice to remain in place for Clare town

UISCE Eireann have reissued a boil water notice affecting thousands of Clare residents.

A notice was first issued on September 17 that the water supply served by the Killaloe Public Water Supply "is potentially unsafe to drink due to operational issues which has impacted chlorination at the water treatment plant". 

Areas impacted include Craglea, Ballyvally, Knockyclovaun, Shantraud, Creeveroe, Killestry, Cloonfadda, Lackenbaun, Ballycorney, Garraunboy and surrounding areas. 

The state entity are working in conjunction with Clare County Council to implement measures to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible, all customers on this supply are advised to boil and cool their water before use until further notice.

Uisce Eireann’s Darragh Conneely acknowledged the impact of this notice on the community. 

"We would like to assure customers that we are working to lift the notice as quickly as possible. We are upgrading our chlorination systems and alarms at the water treatment plant to provide the plant with greater robustness and safeguard supply. Uisce Éireann appreciates the impact that this notice is having on the community and thank them for their patience," he said.
