A boil water notice will be in place from today night, Tuesday, for areas in Waterford and Tipperary. The notice will come into effect from midnight Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The boil water notice will last until Friday, 4th August.
The notice is precautionary due to industrial action, as a result of the ongoing dispute between Unite Trade Union and several Local Authorities (LAs).
The water plants that are affected by the boil water notice are Adamstown, Stradbally, Ballylaneen, Crotty's Lake, Glenary and Poulavanogue. Irish Water (Uisce Éireann) are also warning there may be some disruption to water services, in particular, the speed at which bursts to the water network are repaired.
Uisce Éireann says water should be boiled before drinking, preparing food, brushing teeth and preparing formula for infants. Full details of the boil water notice are available on water.ie
