A boil water notice which was put in place in June 2016 for Irish Water customers on the Ardcarraig Clogherinkoe Public Water Supply in Co Kildare has been lifted.

The notice for the 80 affected customers was in put in place due to non-compliance of a regulatory water sample. The sample failed due the detection of E. coli in the water supply and unsatisfactory chlorine levels. Irish Water and Kildare County Council consulted with the HSE to ensure that a safe and compliant supply of water was returned to customers as soon as possible.
