Boil Water Notice Lifted for Youghal Regional Public Water Supply

Customers supplied by the Youghal Regional Public Water Supply can once again use water straight from the tap, following the lifting of the Boil Water Notice. Uisce Éireann has confirmed the news, which covers Youghal Town and environs as well as Ballydasoon and the surrounding areas in County Waterford.

Uisce Éireann, following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), has confirmed that the water is now safe to drink, prepare food with, and use as normal.

The notice has been lifted after a series of satisfactory water quality tests. It was introduced on Friday, 23 October after increased turbidity affected the treatment process at the local water treatment plant following a deterioration in raw water quality.

Uisce Éireann said it understands the disruption and inconvenience the notice has caused for customers, and thanked the community for its patience, cooperation and support while the necessary work was carried out.

Niall O’Riordan, Uisce Éireann:

“As a team, we live and work in the communities we serve, so we understand the importance of having a safe and reliable water supply every day. We are pleased to restore normal service and would like to thank the community for the support they have shown throughout this process.

I also want to express our thanks to elected representative [sic] and the media for their assistance in sharing public health information while this notice was in place.”

The Uisce Éireann Customer Contact Centre, available 24/7 on freephone 1800 278 278, can answer queries regarding the lifting of this notice. Further information is available on www.water.ie.
