Boil Water Notice on Glenties-Ardara Public Water Supply finally lifted

The Boil Water Notice on the Glenties-Ardara Public Water Supply in south-west Donegal has been lifted.

Uisce Éireann can confirm that, following consultation with the Health Service Executive, customers on this supply can now resume normal use of the Glenties-Ardara Public Water Supply.

The notice was issued on Friday, 24 January, due to deterioration in the raw water quality impacting the treatment process at the water treatment plant, following on from Storm Éowyn.

Drinking water experts from Uisce Éireann worked to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible. Following satisfactory water sampling results, the notice has now been lifted.
