Galway Daily news Kinvara Boil Water Notice

Boil Water Notices have been issued for approximately 3,000 homes supplied by the Dunmore/Glenamaddy and Glenamaddy Public Water Supplies.

The notices are due to a deterioration in raw water quality entering the Dunmore Gortgarrow Water Treatment Plant as a result of recent heavy rainfall.

All homes and businesses served by both supplies must boil their water before drinking.

Customers on the following group water schemes linked to the Dunmore/Glenamaddy Public Water Supply are also affected by the notice and must boil their water before use: Boyounagh/Ballyedmond, Brookloon and Cloonkeen.

Uisce Éireann recently took in charge the Garrafrauns, Grange and Cathill Group Water Schemes and customers in these areas are also affected by the Boil Water Notices and must boil their water before use.

The Kilmascahill Group Water Scheme under the Glenamaddy Public Water Supply is also affected by the Boil Water Notice.

Uisce Eireann’s Justin Doran acknowledged the impact of this notice on the community.

“Public health is Uisce Éireann’s number one priority and we would like to assure customers that the notice has been put in place to protect public health. We are working to resolve the issue and lift the notice as quickly as possible.”
