Following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), Uisce Éireann and Wexford County Council have issued a Boil Water Notice to protect the health of approximately 250 customers supplied by Kiltealy Public Water Supply.
All consumers affected by this notice must boil their water before drinking. This is due to elevated turbidity in the supply. All customers supplied by Kiltealy Public Water Supply are impacted.
Uisce Eireann’s Regional Operations Manager Jim Fitzgerald 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 lift the notice as quickly as possible,” stated Mr Fitzgerald.
Customers can check if their property is included by visiting the Water Quality section of www.water.ie and entering the property’s Eircode or by calling the Uisce Éireann’s customer care helpline, open 24/7, on 1800 278 278. A map of the area is attached and available to view on the supply and service section of water.ie.
