Boil Water Notice Remains In Place For Borrisokane Consumers

A Boil Water Notice remains in place for the area supplied by the Borrisokane Public Water Supply in Tipperary.

The Boil Water Notice was put in place due to the detection of cryptosporidium in the Borrisokane supply.

Since then, experts from Irish Water and Tipperary County Council have been working to implement a solution to enable to lifting of the notice. Works to install a new disinfection system are close to completion and will be moving to the commissioning stage shortly.


In the meantime, all 1,750 customers of this supply are advised to continue to boil water before use until further notice.

Duane O'Brien, Irish Water’s Operations Lead for Tipperary said: "We understand the disruption a Boil Water Notice can cause. Together with our colleagues in Tipperary County Council we have prioritised the installation of a new ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system at the treatment plant. Following the completion of this work, further consultation will take place with the HSE with a view to lifting the notice as quickly as it is safe to do so."
