Following consultations between the Health Service Executive and national utility company Uisce Éireann, the Boil Water Notice affecting parts of the Killsellagh Public Water Supply in County Sligo has been lifted with immediate effect.

Customers on this supply can now resume normal use of their water supply after remedial works were carried out and consistent satisfactory sampling results were achieved.

Uisce Éireann's Kevin Love acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community.

"Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice caused. I would like to thank affected customers for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift it as quickly as it was safe to do so," said Kevin.

The notice was issued on Saturday, May 31, to protect the health of approximately 1,665 customers following a mechanical issue which could have resulted in possible inadequate disinfection at the water treatment plant.

The areas affected included Calry, Hazelwood, Colgah, Loughanelteen, Kilsellagh, Doonally, Shannon Eighter, Lisnalurg, Teesan, Ballinvoher, Springfield  Kintogher, Yeats Heights and Yeats Village.

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