Uisce Éireann has announced that the Boil Water Notice issued to customers supplied by the Carrick-on-Suir (Linguan) Public Water Supply Scheme has been lifted with immediate effect.
The decision follows remedial works, satisfactory water sampling results and consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE).
All consumers on the Carrick-on-Suir (Linguan) Public Water Supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
The Boil Water Notice was issued on September 3 to protect the health of customers.
Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked hard to lift the notice for impacted customers as quickly and as safely as possible.
Uisce Éireann’s Patrick Duggan, acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community, adding: “Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice had on the community.
"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 local councillors and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the period of this boil water notice.”
Uisce Éireann and the Health Service Executive Water Liaison Group will continue to meet and will review ongoing process control, monitoring and testing of the drinking water supply.
