After the successful completion of remedial works and the receipt of satisfactory water sampling results, the boil water notice has now been lifted with immediate effect.

The notice was issued to protect public health following increased levels of turbidity which had impacted the treatment processes at the plant.

Uisce Éireann’s Water Operations Lead for Cork County, Niall O'Riordan said: "I want to acknowledge the impact that the restriction had on our customers. The notice was issued to protect public health while we worked hard to resolve the issues impacting the treatment plant. We are delighted to have been able to lift the restriction before the Christmas break and wish all our customers a safe and happy Christmas."
