Clare / Limerick Drinking Water Alert Is Lifted

Clare County Council and Limerick County Council, following consultation with the Health Service Executive, have removed a drinking water alert that was affecting approximately 500 individuals in Montpelier (Limerick), O’Briensbridge and Bridgetown (Clare).

The notice was put in place last Tuesday after the County Councils’ Water Services sections detected a deterioration in water quality in the Montpelier Water Supply Scheme.

Subsequent extensive testing by Environmental Laboratory staff from both Councils has shown that the water being supplied continues to meet the drinking water standards.
