Uisce Éireann has issued a Boil Water Notice for customers supplied by the Carrick On Suir (Crotty’s Lake) Water Supply.
This notice affects approximately 1,937 customers and is necessary due to operational issues at the water treatment plant.

A Boil Water Notice on the Horse and Jockey Public Supply issued on September 3rd also remains in place. This was issued due to higher than desirable levels of particles in the raw water source.
