ALERT: Uisce Éireann issues boil water notice to hundreds of Waterford customers

Uisce Éireann has issued a boil water notice to hundreds of customers in County Waterford.

The notice applies to approximately 440 customers who get their water from the Deelish Water Supply.

The supply serves the townlands of Deelish, Kilnafrehan, Kilgobnet and Garranbane surrounding areas.

Customers in the affected areas are being advised to boil their water before using it for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth until further notice.

However, Uisce Éireann reassured customers that it is working to restore normal water quality as quickly as possible.

Customers can check if their property is affected by visiting the Water Quality Section of water.ie and entering their Eircode or by contacting Uisce Éireann’s customer care team, available 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
