Irish Water and Tipperary County Council have issued an urgent boil water notice to come into immediate effect, in the areas of Glengoole, Gortnahoo, Ballinure, Ballinunty, Killenaule, Cloneen, Mullinahone, Drangen, Moyglass, and surrounding areas.
Some 6,700 people are expected to be affected within the 9 areas, and same are being urged to take immediate action, by boiling all water from the public Fethard supply feeding the stated areas.
This alert has been put in place following issues with the treatment and disinfection process at the Fethard Regional Water Treatment Plant.
We understand that the Fethard town area is not affected, as it is supplied from yet another supply.
Consumers in the areas affected are being advised to boil all their water before drinking, or when preparing all foods, which are not cooked prior to eating; brushing their teeth or in the making of ice etc.
Work to rectify issues at the Fethard water treatment plant, by Tipperary County Council, will continue, until this boil water notice can be safely lifted.
