A boil water notice issued in February for Culdaff remains active two months later. The alert affects roughly 1,300 customers on the public supply, including those served by the Three Glens Group Water Scheme.

Uisce Éireann stated the notice followed high turbidity levels that disrupted operations at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant. The company now conducts well drilling and yield testing at the site to support plans for a new facility aimed at boosting water supply in the area.

These activities have raised turbidity again, requiring the notice to stay in effect. Uisce Éireann emphasized public health protection as its top concern and noted water is safe after boiling per Health Service Executive guidelines.

Damien O’Sullivan of Uisce Éireann acknowledged customer frustration and thanked the community for patience during the works. He said teams aim to lift the notice once testing confirms safety in coordination with the Health Service Executive.

Customers can verify if their property falls within the affected zone using their Eircode at water.ie or by calling the 24/7 helpline at 1800 278 278. A map appears in the site's Supply and Service section.

Boil water before salad preparation, ice making, or other uses. Discard existing ice and fridge-filtered water. Uisce Éireann registers vulnerable customers for direct alerts. Updates post to water.ie, X at @IWCare, and the helpline.
