Last remaining water boil notice lifted in Co. Limerick


Limerick County Council has confirmed that the last remaining precautionary boil water notice in place in County Limerick has been lifted.


The local authority, acting on the advice of the Health Service Executive and as agents of Irish Water, introduced a precautionary boil water notice across County Limerick on Thursday after extensive power outages caused by last week’s storm affected water pumping stations and treatment plants.

Approximately 90,000 customers in County Limerick were affected by the boil water notice. Since Saturday however, only 475 people served by the Fedamore public water scheme have been required to boil water prior to consumption. This precautionary notice has now been lifted.

Water supply to the Limerick City and Environs area was unaffected during the past week.
