Kinvara harbour in south Galway has had its temporary “boil water” notice lifted by Uisce Éireann,
As Afloat reported last week, the notice was relayed to over 2,000 people living in the inner Galway Bay area as essential works had to be carried out at the water treatment plant.
Uisce Éireann says that “following consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers can now resume normal use of the public water supply”.
It said it acknowledged the impact of the notice on customers and thanked the community for its support while the notice was in place.
“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,” it said.
It said that Uisce Éireann’s customer contact centre, open 24/7 on freephone 1800 278 278, is available to answer queries in relation to the lifting of the notice.
