Some Uisce Eireann Customers in East Tipperary are to be affected by a Boil Water Notice. Following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), Uisce Éireann have issued a Boil Water Notice to protect the health of approximately 462 customers supplied by the Commons Public Water Supply. The company says the Boil Before use notice is being issued due to increased turbidity in the treated water supply. This means a higher than acceptable level of particles of unacceptable materials in the water. Suspended particles – such as silt, algae, plankton, and sewage can cause water to appear cloudy or murky.
Areas impacted include Commons, Blackcommon, Bolintlea, Kyleballygalvan, Gortnasmuttaun, Ballingarry Upper and surrounding areas. Customers can check if their property is included by visiting www.water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Uisce Éireann customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
All consumers affected by this notice must boil their water before drinking.
Uisce Eireann says staff are working to resolve the issue and to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible.
