A Boil Water Notice for around 70 properties in the Galtee Regional Water Supply between Golden and Thomastown has been lifted.
However, the Boil Water Notice remains in place on the remaining section of water mains from Thomastown to Kilfeakle pending the completion of further planned works and receipt of satisfactory monitoring results.
It has been possible to lift the restriction in this specific area following the completion of remedial works, including the installation of chlorine booster pumps and valves.
Confirmation of the removal of the Boil Water Notice is being issued to customers in the affected areas. The lifting notice only applies to consumers in receipt of this notice.
Duane O'Brien, Irish Water's operations lead for Co Tipperary, said: "We are pleased to be in a position to lift the notice for a further 70 properties between Golden and Thomastown. However, it is important to stress that the Boil Water Notice remains in place for properties between Kilfeakle and Thomastown.
"We fully appreciate the difficulty and inconvenience that a Boil Water Notice causes in the community. We would like to assure people in this area that we are working to resolve the issue and restore a normal water supply as quickly as possible. In order achieve this we have plans to replace 6km of old cast iron water mains between Thomastown and Kilfeakle. An initial 1.2km priority section has been identified and construction is expected to get underway this year subject to funding and other approvals. The remaining sections will be delivered pending budget availability.
"We wish to thank the community for their ongoing patience and cooperation while we work to resolve this issue for those remaining on the Boil Water Notice. Our priority is the provision of safe, clean drinking water and safeguarding that water supply for the future is a vital focus."
