Following consultation with the Health Service Executive, Irish Water and Tipperary County Council have issued a Boil Water Notice for the area supplied by the Galtee Regional Public Supply.
It's affecting 15,000 customers in Tipperary and is being issued due to elevated turbidity in the treated water.
The areas affected include customers in Emly, Lattin, Ballinard, Cullen, Ballywire, Kilross, Limerick Junction, Monard, Lisvarnane, Rosadrehid, Bansha, Tankerstown, Kilfeacle, Golden, Cashel, Rosegreen, New Inn and surrounding areas.
Colin Cunningham from Irish Water has acknowledged the impact this notice will have on the community and apologised for the inconvenience to customers:
“We are working closely with Tipperary County Council to restore drinking water quality for all impacted customers. We will monitor the supply over the coming days and will seek to lift the notice in consultation with the HSE as quickly as it is safe to do so.”
In the meantime, all customers of this supply are advised to boil water before use until further notice.
