Briain Kelly, 2 Feb
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.
