The notice was originally issued due to turbidity impacting the treatment processes at the water treatment plant
The Boil Water Notice on the Clogh-Castlecomer water supply scheme has been lifted with immediate effect. It was in place for over a month.
Uisce Éireann and Kilkenny County Council are notifying customers supplied by the Clogh-Castlecomer Public Water Supply that following the completion of remedial measures and the receipt of satisfactory monitoring results, the boil water notice issued on Friday, December 16 is now lifted. The decision follows consultation undertaken with the HSE.
The notice was originally issued due to turbidity impacting the treatment processes at the water treatment plant. Uisce Éireann operation and compliance experts worked with colleagues in Kilkenny County Council to carry out the necessary works to enable the notice to be lifted as quickly as possible.
All consumers on the Clogh-Castlecomer Public Water Supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
James O’ Toole of Uisce Éireann said: “Uisce Éireann and Kilkenny County Council wish to thank everyone for their patience, co-operation and assistance during this boil water notice and we greatly regret any inconvenience caused to homes and businesses in the community. We are grateful to the media, elected representatives and members of the public who shared these updates.”
Uisce Éireann, Kilkenny County Council and the HSE Water Liaison Group will continue to meet and will review ongoing process control, monitoring and testing of the drinking water supply.
The Uisce Éireann Customer Contact Centre (1800 278 278) is available to answer customer queries in relation to this water notice. Further information is available on www.water.ie.
"Uisce Éireann is responsible for the delivery of all public water and wastewater services in Ireland. We are committed to continuously upgrading and developing critical infrastructure to support the growth needed in housing and across our economy, while protecting the environment and safeguarding water suppliesm," they said.
