Tipperary boil water notice is lifted with immediate effect

This decision follows consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE). All consumers on the Ballymacarbry Public Water Supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.

The boil water notice was issued on August 30 to protect customers' health. Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked hard to lift the notice for impacted customers as quickly and as safely as possible, said a spokesperson.

Uisce Éireann's Maura Phelan, acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community, saying: "Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the boil water notice had on the community.

"I would like to thank them for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift the boil water notice as quickly as it was safe to do so. I would also like to thank the local councillors and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during this boil water notice."

Uisce Éireann and the HSE Water Liaison Group will continue to meet and will review ongoing process control, monitoring and testing of the drinking water supply.
