Uisce Éireann has issued a reminder to 46 customers in Kilcloghans, Tuam and customers in parts of Loughrea Town to boil their water before use.
The Loughrea notice affects customers in Castle Street, Church Street, King Street, Kelly Street, Piggott Street, Moore Street, Dolphin Street, Mount Carmel Crescent, Athenry Road, Liam Mellows Terrace, Cross Street, St. Brendan’s Day Care Centre as well the L-8273 between the Gort Road and the Old Galway Road.
Uisce Éireann has assured other customers supplied by the Tuam Regional Water Supply Scheme that their water is compliant with regulatory standards and safe to drink.
They acknowledged the impact of these notices on the communities and said that they are working as quickly as possible to lift them.
“In Tuam we are progressing with a package of works to provide them with a safe and secure water supply for generations to come,” said Uisce Éireann in a statement.
“Following the successful completion of this programme of remedial works, Uisce Éireann will then consult with the HSE with a view to lifting the Boil Water notice that is currently in place for 46 impacted customers.”
In Loughrea, Uisce Éireann is replacing 1.8 km of cast iron water mains with new pipework.
As sections of the existing cast iron network are replaced, Uisce Éireann will be in a position to consult with the HSE with a view to lifting the Boil Water Notice in sections.
