Boil Water Notice in Tipp townland

Irish Water in partnership with Tipperary County Council wish to remind customers supplied by the Horse and Jockey Public Water Supply, that the Boil Water Notice (BWN) issued on 3 September remains in place. The BWN was issued to protect the health of approximately 650 customers due to increased turbidity in the raw water source impacting the treatment processes at the water treatment plant.

Areas impacted are Horse and Jockey, Forgestown, Moycarkey, Curraheen, Ballymurreen, Drumgower, Newtown and surrounding areas. Customers can check if their property is included by visiting the Water Quality section of www.water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Irish Water customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.

Drinking water experts from Irish Water and Tipperary County Council continue to work to rectify the turbidity issues at the treatment plant and plans are progressing to upgrade the treatment processes in order to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible, in consultation with the HSE. We will provide a further update in the coming weeks as the upgrade plans progress. In the meantime, all customers on this supply are advised to boil water before use until further notice.
