A TWO MONTH boil water notice has finally been lifted in O’Briensbridge.
Areas impacted by the notice included O’Briensbridge, Montpelier, Bridgetown and surrounding villages.
An approximate 950 customers are on the O’Briensbridge public water supply. The notice was introduced following a disinfection at the water treatment plant at the end of August.
Uisce Éireann lifted the notice following consultation with the HSE which now allows cusomters to resume normal use of their public water supply. Uisce Éireann is responsible for delivering public drinking water and wastewater services for the people of Ireland.
Darragh Conneely of Uisce Éireann acknowledged the impact of the notice on customers and thanked the community for their support. “Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health and we worked with our stakeholders to lift the notice as quickly as possible. We are grateful to customers, elected representatives and the media for their assistance in sharing information on the boil water notice in recent weeks.”
