The Boil Water Notice on the Culdaff Public Water Supply Scheme has been lifted with immediate effect.
The notice was issued on 17 February, with Uisce Eireann saying the measure was necessary to protect the health of customers due to high turbidity in the raw water which impacted the water treatment process at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant.
They say since then, they’ve been working with the HSE to regularly test the water, and it’s now been determined that the water is once again safe to drink.
Damien O’Sullivan, Uisce Éireann’s Water Network Operations Manager for Co Donegal, has thanked the local community for its patience while the notice was in place.
Approximately 1,300 customers were affected, including those on the Three Glens Group Water Scheme.
