Boil Water Notice Issued For Rathangan Residents Today
Uisce Éireann issued an urgent boil water notice to protect public health after detecting elevated bacteria levels in Rathangan. Residents must boil water for drinking and hygiene until the utility company resolves the supply issue.
Residents of Rathangan’s Pomeroy Park face immediate disruption as Uisce Éireann has issued a critical boil water notice to safeguard public health. Following consultation with the Health Service Executive, the utility provider detected increased bacteria levels in the supply affecting households from numbers 1 to 72 in the estate.
Eoghan Forristal, a spokesperson for Uisce Éireann, acknowledged the distress caused by this precautionary measure, emphasising that protecting the community remains their top priority. Teams are currently working intensively on the ground to resolve the contamination and restore normal water quality as swiftly as possible.
Affected customers must boil water for drinking, food preparation, and brushing teeth until further notice, ensuring it reaches a vigorous rolling boil before cooling. While water remains safe for washing and flushing toilets, domestic filters will not render it potable. Residents can verify their status via the official website or contact the 24/7 helpline at 1800 278 278 for real-time updates.
