A Boil Water Notice which impacts County Tipperary has been lifted with immediate effect, Uisce Éireann has announced.

The notice on the Carrick-on-Suir (Linguan) Public Water Supply Scheme was issued on January 25 to protect the health of approximately 4,150 customers due to a deterioration in the raw water quality caused by elevated levels of ammonia which impacted the treatment processes at the water treatment plant.

The Carrick-on-Suir (Linguan) scheme supplies customers on the North side of the River Suir as well as Friar Street Upper, Corpse Road, Rack Hill, South Quay and Bridge street on the South side of the River Suir and surrounding areas.

Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible. Following satisfactory water sampling results and consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers can now resume normal use of the public water supply.
