Boil Water Notice In Co Clare Lifted

A boil water notice in Co Clare which was put in place in July 2016 has been lifted.

Around 300 premises were effected by the notice in Turlough, however after essential works being carried out the water is now safe to drink.

The lifting of the notice, on the advice of the Health Service Executive, follows completion of work at the treatment plant and the subsequent recording of satisfactory monitoring results that indicated that the water is now safe to drink.


The works carried out at the treatment plant involved the installation of an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system on the supply.

Katherine Walshe, Regional Manager with Irish Water, commented: "Irish Water and Clare County Council acknowledge the patience, co-operation and assistance of the general public during the period of the Boil Water Notice and greatly regret any inconvenience caused to householders and the business community."
