Following satisfactory sampling results and consultations with the Health Service Executive and Uisce Éireann, the Boil Water Notice on the Poulavonogue Public Water Supply has now been lifted.

Notably, there are two Poulavonogue supplies in the Clonmel area and this notice relates to the small scheme historically managed by Waterford County Council.

Consumers can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth, following the lifting of this notice which was issued on April 15 to protect the health of customers.

Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked hard to lift the notice for impacted customers as quickly and as safely as possible.

Uisce Éireann's Maura Phelan acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community, adding: "Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice had on the community. I would like to thank them for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift the Boil Water Notice as quickly as it was safe to do so. I would also like to thank the local councillors and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the period of this boil water notice."

Uisce Éireann and the Health Service Executive Water Liaison Group will continue to meet and will review ongoing process control, monitoring and testing of the drinking water supply.
