LATEST: Uisce Éireann issue statement regarding discolouration of water

They advice customers not to drink discoloured water

ALERT: A large number of Kilkenny parishes impacted by Uisce Eireann works

Uisce Éireann has issued a statement to customers on the Fethard Regional Water Supply Scheme that the plant is now fully operational following overnight issues.

As water levels refill across the network, some customers are experiencing discolouration at the taps.

They say they have been treating this matter as a priority and crews are carrying out flushing on the network which should resolve any instances of discolouration.

Uisce Éireann advises customers not to drink discoloured water.

In the event of discolouration, running the tap for several minutes will usually restore water to a clear colour.

The water is safe to drink once running clear.

If the issue remains unresolved, they encourage customers to contact them directly.

The Fethard Regional Water Treatment Plant supplies parts of Tipperary, including Cloneen, Mullinahone, Drangen, Killenaule, Moyglass, Ballinure, Ballinunty, Glengoole, Gortnahoo and surrounding areas.

They note that Fethard Town is supplied by another water treatment plant and is not impacted by this supply disruption.
