UISCE Éireann is continuing efforts to lift the Boil Water Notice in place for customers on the Buncrana (Slavery) Public Water Supply.
Following mechanical issues encountered at Buncrana (Slavery) Water Treatment Plant, the notice was issued on Friday, January 2, to protect the health of customers on the supply, in consultation with the HSE.
Uisce Éireann’s primary focus is and always will be the protection of public health.
Monitoring of the supply is underway this week, and these results will be kept under review and shared with the HSE as we continue to liaise with them.
In the meantime, all customers on the Buncrana (Slavery) 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 24/7, on 1800 278 278.
A map of the area is also available to view on the supply and service section of water.ie.
Uisce Éireann’s Damien O’Sullivan assured customers on the supply that a team is working to lift the notice as quickly and safely as possible.
“I want to acknowledge the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice is causing the local community, but public health is Uisce Éireann’s number one priority and this notice is in place to protect the health of customers on the supply,” he said.
“Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann are working, in consultation with the HSE, to lift the notice and we thank those affected for their patience.”
