Boil Water Notice lifted in Tipp
Uisce Éireann and Tipperary County Council wish to notify customers supplied by the Glengar Public Water Supply Scheme that the boil water notice issued on 3 March is now lifted with immediate effect. This decision follows consultation undertaken with the Health Service Executive, following receipt of satisfactory verification monitoring results.
The notice was originally issued due to the detection of cryptosporidium in the water supply. The notice was put in place to protect the health of approximately 470 customers supplied by Glengar Public Water Supply Scheme in Glengar, Leugh, Knockanavar, Moher East, Moher West, Shanacloon, Gortaderry, Ballyhane East, Ballyhane West, Lissowen and surrounding areas.
Uisce Éireann’s operation and compliance experts worked with colleagues in Tipperary County Council to enable the notice to be lifted as quickly as possible.
All consumers on the Glengar Public Water Supply Scheme can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
Colin Cunningham of Uisce Éireann said: “Uisce Éireann and Tipperary County Council wish to thank everyone for their patience, co-operation and assistance during this boil water notice and we greatly regret any inconvenience caused to homes and businesses in the community.”
Uisce Éireann and the Local Authority and the Health Service Executive Water Liaison Group will continue to meet and will review ongoing process control, monitoring and testing of the drinking water supply.
