In the meantime, all customers on this supply are advised to boil their water before use until further notice.

“Repair works are near completion, and we hope to resume sampling the water supply soon. The notice will only be lifted after consulting with the HSE and results show the water is safe to consume. Public health is our main priority, and we are working with our colleagues in Limerick City and County Council to lift the notice as soon as it is safe to do so," said Duane O'Brien, Irish Water’s Regional Operations Lead.
