Do Not Drink Notice Lifted In Co Longford

Construction News Image
A Do Not Drink water notice, which was issued in September 2017 in Ardagh, Co Longford, has been lifted.

Irish Water put the notice in place in the O'Connor Park estate after sampling detected the presence of hydrocarbons at low levels in the drinking water.

However, following recent works carried out by Irish Water to clean the pipe network in the area the notice has been lifted.

Additional testing was also carried out on the water quality at homes in the estate.

"We are very pleased that this notice has now been lifted and that the people of O'Connor Park can drink their water again," said Ian O'Mahony of Irish Water.

"The lifting of this notice follows 'ice-pigging' works carried out to clean and scour the pipework serving the estate.

"We would like to thank the people of O'Connor Park for their patience and support while this work was carried out, and acknowledge the inconvenience they experienced as a result of this issue. I would also like to pay tribute to all the staff from Irish Water, Limerick City and County Council and the HSE who have collaborated to resolve this issue."
