UISCE Éireann is reminding customers on the Culdaff Public Water Supply that a Boil Water Notice remains in place today, Friday, April 24.
Following high turbidity in the water which affected the treatment process at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant, the notice was issued in February last to protect the health of approximately 1,300 customers on the supply, including the Three Glens Group Water Scheme.
Uisce Éireann has confirmed that well drilling and yield testing works are currently underway at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant. These works are essential to informing the design of a new water treatment plant, which is intended to increase water availability for Culdaff and surrounding areas in the longer term.
Unfortunately, the ongoing drilling activity has resulted in increased turbidity in the water being produced at the plant. As a result, the Boil Water Notice must remain in place at this time.
Uisce Éireann say their primary focus is on the protection of public health. Remedial works are continuing at the water treatment plant and monitoring of the supply is on-going. These results will be kept under review and shared with the HSE.
In the meantime, all customers on the Culdaff Public Water Supply are advised to boil their water before use until further notice.
Customers can check if their property is included by visiting www.water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Uisce Éireann customer care helpline, open 247, on 1800 278 278.
A map of the area is also available to view on the supply and service section of water.ie
Customers are reminded that the water is safe to consume once boiled.
