The Boil Water Notice imposed in Clifden last week has been lifted with immediate effect today.
Uisce Eireann imposed the Boil Water Notice for approximately 1,578 customers on the Clifden Public Water Supply last Friday, January 26.
The notice was issued as a precaution to allow for a period of water quality testing following a major outage.
Clifden suffered a four day water outage due to a major leak which repair crews were unable to locate at the time.
After multiple days of failing to locate the leak, an overground pipe was laid to bypass the affected part of the network.
A boil water notice was issued as Uisce Eireann said that there may have been residues of older water in the pipework which may not be compliant with the drinking water regulations.
Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked to lift the notice as quickly and safely as possible. Following satisfactory water samples, the Boil Water Notice has been lifted.
Uisce Eireann acknowledges the impact of the notice on customers and thanks the community for their support while the notice was in place.
