Boil Water Notice lifted in Kilrossanty with immediate effect
Uisce Éireann can confirm that the Boil Water Notice on the Kilrossanty Public Water Supply has been lifted with immediate effect. All customers supplied by the Kilrossanty Public Water Supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
The notice has been lifted following satisfactory sampling results. This decision follows consultation undertaken with the Health Service Executive (HSE). The notice was issued on 29th July to protect the health of approximately 425 customers due to increased turbidity in the raw water source.
Uisce Éireann’s Maura Phelan acknowledged the impact of the notice on homes and thanked the community for their support while we worked to lift the notice.
“Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health. We worked to lift the notice as quickly as it was safe to do so. We would like to thank customers for their cooperation and patience resolved the issues impacting the treatment plant.”
Maura added: “We are grateful to the media, elected representatives and members of the public for sharing our updates”.
