Boil water notice lifted for customers on Waterford-Tipperary border
This decision follows consultation undertaken with the HSE. All consumers on the Poulavonogue Public Water Supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
Residents should note that there are two Poulavonogue supplies in the Clonmel area. This notice relates to the small scheme historically managed by Waterford County Council. The boil water notice was issued on April 15 to protect the health of 84 customers.
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 Maura Phelan, acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community. '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 the period of this boil water notice,' said Ms Phelan.
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.
