Boil water notice lifted in Waterford
The boil water notice for the Kilrossanty supply has been lifted
Waterford City & County Council has lifted a boil water notice in a rural part of the county having first implemented the notice on July 29.
The notice affected consumers on the Kilrossanty Public Water Supply and a spokesperson for the local authority said Uisce Éireann confirmed the notice was lifted "with immediate effect".
In lifting the notice the state water utility said people could resume normal use of their water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing of teeth.
"The notice has been lifted following satisfactory sampling results," said Uisce Éireann in a notice. "This decision follows consultation undertaken with the Health Service Executive (HSE)."
The boil water notice was implemented 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 they 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.”
