Around 875 people can now resume normal use of water for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
A Boil Water Notice was put in place in July following concerns that the disinfection process of the network may have been compromised on a section of the supply. The Notice has now been lifted.

Remedial works involved building a new 1km section of water main to link to the nearby Roberts' Cross Water Supply, allowing 100 properties to be supplied from this supply.
In addition, a 1.4km section of cast iron mains in the Ring Helvick Water Supply was replaced, while €75,000 was invested in additional valves and hydrants to allow for more effective flushing of the water in the network.
Irish Water said automatic flushing will continue as an ongoing part of network maintenance.
Brian O'Leary, Irish Water's Regional Water Operations Lead, said: "Irish Water's priority is to provide safe, secure and reliable drinking water for all our customers in the Ring Helvick area. We are pleased to announce that the Boil Water Notice has now been lifted following the completion of upgrade works in the area."
