Uisce Éireann and Waterford City and County Council have issued a precautionary Boil Water Notice, effective from Wednesday at 12 midnight (00.01 Thursday), to protect the health of approximately 63,600 customers supplied by Adamstown, Stradbally and Ballylaneen Water Treatment Plants.
This is due to planned industrial action, arising from a dispute between the Unite Trade Union and 12 Local Authorities.
Due to the strike action, Uisce Éireann has taken steps to protect public health by imposing Boil Water Notices on these schemes.
All customers in the following areas are advised to boil their water before consuming from Wednesday at 12 midnight (00.01 Thursday) until further notice: Waterford City, Tramore, Dunmore East, Passage East, Crooke, Faithlegg, Cheekpoint, Stradbally, Ballylaneen, Kill, Bonmahon, Kilmeaden/Butlerstown, Ballyduff and surrounding areas.
There may also be some disruption to water services, in particular, the speed at which bursts to the water network are repaired in all counties impacted by the strike action.
Customers can check if their property is included by visiting the Water Quality section of www.water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Uisce Éireann’s customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
