Customers impacted by the Ferns Public Water Supply Boil Water Notice issued on June 28th were informed by Uisce Éireann this afternoon that it will remain in place until further notice.
This notice was issued as a precautionary measure to protect the health of approximately 1,723 customers due to the detection of cryptosporidium in the water supply.
All consumers affected by this notice must boil their water before drinking.
Dan McCartan, Uisce Éireann Assets Operations Lead, told WexfordLocal.com; “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 their wellbeing. Our compliance and operations experts are on site and are working to lift the notice as quickly and as safely as possible. We understand the impact a Boil Water Notice (BWN) has on the local community and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
Vulnerable customers who have registered with Uisce Éireann receive direct communication on Boil Water Notices. Customers are reminded that the water is safe to consume once boiled.
