Four Boil Water Notices remain in place on Public Water Schemes in County Tipperary.
Uisce Éireann issued an update today and says customers on the Ardfinnan Regional, Galtee Regional, Thurles Regional, Burncourt Regional and Burncourt Ballylooby public water supplies must continue to boil their water until further notice to protect public health.
Experts from Uisce Éireann and Tipperary County Council are carrying out sampling of the water in each of these supplies with a view to having the notices lifted as quickly and safely as possible.
In the meantime, all customers on these supplies are advised to boil water before use until further notice.
Uisce Eireann says alterations have been made to treatment processes and water sampling has commenced.
Sampling across the schemes and at water treatment plants is required over an extensive period to ensure that any potential non-compliant water has passed through the networks.
Uisce Éireann is continuing to monitor the performance of the water treatment plants and once in receipt of the necessary sampling results, Uisce Éireann will consult with the HSE to seek to have the boil water notices lifted.
