The Boil Water Notice for the Rathcabbin public water supply has been lifted
The Boil Water Notice on the Rathcabbin Public Water Supply has been lifted with immediate effect.
Uisce Éireann can confirm that, following consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers on this supply can now resume normal use of their water supply.
This follows remedial works with consistent satisfactory sampling results.
The Boil Water Notice was issued on 1 January to protect the health of approximately 1,200 customers following increased turbidity which had impacted the treatment processes at the plant.
Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked hard to lift the notice for impacted customers as quickly and as safely as possible.
Uisce Éireann’s Pierce Faherty acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community. “Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice had on the community of Rathcabbin. I would like to thank them for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift it as quickly as it was safe to do so.
“I also thank the local political representatives and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the period of this notice.”
