Boil water notice lifted in several local areas of Tipperary

Uisce Éireann can confirm that the Boil Water Notice on the Commons Public Water Supply in County Tipperary has been lifted with immediate effect, in consultation with the HSE.

The notice was issued to protect public health following elevated levels of turbidity which had impacted the treatment processes at the plant.

Crews worked hard to lift the notice before the Bank Holiday Weekend and, following receipt of satisfactory water sampling results, the boil water notice has now been lifted with immediate effect.

All customers supplied by the Commons Public Water Supply, including include Commons, Blackcommon, Bolintlea, Kyleballygalvan, Gortnasmuttaun, Ballingarry Upper and surrounding areas, can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.

Uisce Éireann’s Colin Cunningham said: "I want to acknowledge the impact that the restriction had on our customers. The notice was issued to protect public health while we worked hard to resolve the issues impacting the treatment plant. We are delighted to have been able to lift the restriction before the long weekend and thank the community for their patience."
