Uisce Éireann has announced the immediate lifting of the Boil Water Notice for customers on the Ballymacarbry Public Water Supply, following remedial works and consistent satisfactory water quality testing.
The decision was made in consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Residents and businesses served by the Ballymacarbry supply can now safely use tap water for drinking, food preparation, and brushing teeth. The Boil Water Notice, initially issued on 30 August as a precautionary health measure, is now officially lifted.
Uisce Éireann's Maura Phelan, acknowledged the impact of the notice on the community, adding: "Uisce Éireann regrets the inconvenience that the Boil Water Notice had on the community. I would like to thank them for their patience and support while our drinking water experts worked to lift the Boil Water Notice as quickly as it was safe to do so. I would also like to thank the local councillors and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the period of this boil water notice."
