Following consultation with the HSE, Uisce Éireann has issued a Boil Water Notice to protect the health of approximately 671 customers supplied by the Ballymacarbry Public Water Supply.
This follows increased turbidity in the raw water source. All consumers affected by this notice must boil their water before drinking.
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 Uisce Éireann’s customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
Some customers supplied by the Ballymacarbry Public Water Supply have experienced recent interruptions to their water supply. Uisce Éireann apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and say dedicated water services engineers are on site to ensure supply is fully restored as quickly as possible.
An alternative water supply is available at the Community Centre in Ballymacarbry for affected customers. This water must also be boiled before use.
Uisce Éireann’s Maura Phelan said: “Public health is our number one priority and we would like to assure customers that the notice has been put in place to protect public health. Our compliance and operations experts are working to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible. We understand the impact a Boil Water Notice (BWN) has on the local community and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
