The Boil Water notice which has been in place for two weeks affecting customers of the Lismore Deerpark Water Supply in County Waterford has been lifted.
The notice was issued two weeks ago on Friday 17 September as a precautionary measure to protect public health following issues with the treatment process which compromised the disinfection process.
Irish Water say their drinking water compliance and operational experts worked to resolve the situation as quickly and as safely as possible. Following a number of satisfactory water samples and the completion of remedial works at the treatment plant, the Boil Water notice was lifted.
All consumers on the water supply can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
Ronan Walsh, Regional Operations Lead, Irish Water, said:
“Irish Water acknowledges and understands the impact of this boil water notice on the people affected in Lismore and surrounding areas and we sincerely regret any inconvenience caused.
"We wish to thank the community for their patience while we worked to resolve the issue and restore a normal water supply as quickly as safely as possible.Irish Water’s priority is the provision of safe, clean drinking water and safeguarding that water supply for the future is a vital focus.”
