Crews are working to lift the Boil Water Notice on the Clogh-Castlecomer Public Water Supply in County Kilkenny.

Uisce Éireann and Kilkenny County Council are progressing with works as safely as possible in consultation with the HSE.

James O’Toole, Uisce Éireann said: "Works are progressing well onsite. The containerised treatment unit is currently undergoing testing and monitoring but additional adjustments are likely. Once the new equipment is fully operational, we will undertake network sampling while continuing to monitor the performance of the plant with a view towards lifting the Boil Water Notice, in consultation with the HSE. This process will take a number of weeks with the Boil Water Notice remaining in place until it is safe to lift.

"Upgrades and repairs on site are complex and we appreciate the impact that this notice is having on our customers in the area, but public health remains our number one priority."  

In the meantime, all customers on this supply are advised to boil and cool their water before use until further notice. Areas impacted include Clogh, Moneenroe, Castlecomer and surrounding areas.
