Two Tipperary communities have had their long-term boil water notice lifted
Irish Water say residents on the Gortnapisha and Cloran schemes have been taken off the safety measure following the completion of the new Fethard Regional Water Supply scheme
Tipperary County Council originally imposed a boil water notice on communities supplied by the Cloran Water Supply in October 2008, and further notices on the Cloran and Gortnapisha Water Supply in September 2013.
The new Fethard Regional Water Supply scheme, which has been under construction for several months, involved constructing a new water treatment plant and reservoir, as well as developing a new intake from the River Anner.
Following completion of the new scheme and satisfactory test results, Irish Water and Tipperary County Council are now lifting the boil water notices.
120 people on the affected Gortnapisha and Cloran Water Supply Schemes can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth.
A spokesperson for Irish Water says they will continue to work to remove boil water notices for communities in Tipperary.
