Do Not Consume Notice lifted for Ballyduff/ Kilmeaden Water Supply Scheme
The Do Not Consume Notice affecting customers supplied by the Ballyduff/ Kilmeaden Water Supply Scheme has been lifted with immediate effect.
Uisce Éireann can confirm that, following satisfactory monitoring results and consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers on this supply can now resume normal use of their water supply.
The Do Not Consume Notice was issued on 27 January to protect the health of 145 customers due to adverse weather conditions impacting the raw water quality at the plant’s abstraction point.
The notice applied to all areas supplied by the Ballyduff/ Kilmeaden Public Water Supply including Lahardan, Kilmagemouge West and Hacketstown.
Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked to lift the notice for impacted customers as quickly and as safely as possible.
“We are pleased to confirm that the Do Not Consume Notice has now been lifted, and we appreciate the patience and cooperation of customers while our drinking water teams worked to resolve the issue safely,” said Uisce Éireann’s Operations Manager, Maura Phelan. “We would also like to thank local political representatives and the media for their support in sharing important updates throughout the duration of the notice.”
