LIMERICK County Council, followingย consultation with the Health Service Executive, has this Wednesday removed aย drinking water alert that was affecting 2,000 customers in Adare.
The notice was put in place on Friday, 5th December, 2008 following theย detection of a deterioration in the water quality leaving the Waterย Treatment Plant in Adare.ย
Extensive testing by the Local Authority’s Environmental Laboratoryย staff has shown that the water being supplied at the Adare Waterย Treatment Plant continues to meet the drinking water standards.
According to Donal Brennan, a senior engineer atย Limerick County Council, “The introduction of a boil notice was deemed aย necessary precautionary measure to ensure that public health was not putย at risk. Drinking water restrictions affecting 700 households in Adareย and surrounding areas have now been lifted”.ย Limerick County Council says itย will continue to monitor the water supply to ensure compliance withย water quality standards.
There are now no drinking water alerts affecting water consumers inย County Limerick.
