A two-month ‘Do Not Consume’ water notice for people on Inishbofin has
been lifted with immediate effect, Uisce Éireann has confirmed today.
Residents on the island can now resume normal use of the water supply. The
water had been deemed too dangerous to consume by Uisce Éireann on 14
September due to elevated levels of manganese.
The notice affected 156 customers, and Uisce Eireann’s Justin Doran
acknowledged the impact of the notice on homes and businesses on the
island.
He thanked the community for their support while we worked to lift the
notice.
“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,” said Mr Doran.
“We are grateful to customers, elected representatives, community groups
and the media for their assistance in sharing information on the Do Not
Consume Notice.”
