The Boil Water Notice affecting the Lough Public Water Supply has been lifted with immediate effect, according to Uisce Éireann.

Following consultation with the Health Service Executive, the utility confirmed that customers can now resume normal use of their water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.

The notice was originally issued on 6 March as a precautionary measure to protect public health after a microbiological failure was detected in a single sample taken from the network. Approximately 1,872 customers were affected.

Areas impacted by the notice included Killenard, Garryvacum, Ballybrittas, Lough, Ballycarroll and surrounding communities.
