Affected customers in the following areas can now resume normal use of the water supply for drinking, food preparation and brushing teeth as the Boil Water Notice has been lifted: Glanmire, Glounthaune, Little Island, Carrigtwohill, parts of Midleton and surrounding areas.
Following an assessment this morning post-strike on the treatment plant and processes and following consultation with the HSE, Uisce Éireann and Cork County Council confirmed that the Boil Water Notice can be lifted with immediate effect.
Uisce Eireann’s, Head of Water Operations, Margaret Attridgethanked the local communities affected in Cork:
“Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health. Due to the strike action arising from a dispute between the Unite Trade Union and 7 Local Authorities, Uisce Éireann had no choice but to put this Boil Water Notice in place to protect public health. Once the strike ended, crews were mobilised immediately to carry out remedial works.”
