'Do Not Consume' Notice Remains In Place In Kirikee

Construction News Image
A 'Do Not Consume' notice remains in place to Irish Water customers supplied by Kirikee Public Water Supply in Wicklow.

In consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), a Do Not Consume Notice was issued on the Kirikee Public Water Supply due to flooding of the water treatment plant and a raw water borehole, following heavy rainfall and subsequent flood of the Avonbeg River, which contaminated the drinking water from the plant. The water treatment plant was shut down temporarily, therefore, the Do Not Consume notice applies to any water remaining in the network at this time. A water outage is in place while remedial works are carried out at the plant.

Customers are also being reminded that it is not a Boil Water Notice. Boiling the water is not a suitable measure to make the water safe to consume. This notice does not apply to any other areas or water schemes in County Wicklow.

An alternative water supply is in place to support impacted customers. Water Tankers with clean drinking water are currently available at Kirikee Community Hall and Ballinacor Community Park. Customers are reminded to use their own containers when taking water from the tankers and to boil the water before consumption as a precautionary measure. Vulnerable customers have been notified and bottled water has been arranged for delivery.

Irish Water's drinking water compliance and operational experts are working with colleagues in Wicklow County Council and the HSE to resolve this situation and lift this drinking water restriction as quickly and as safely as possible.
