Three Mile House and Togan Public Water Supply
Previous Updates
Following consultation with the Health Service Executive (HSE), Uisce Éireann has issued a Do Not Consume Notice for all customers on the Three Mile House and Togan Public Water Supply.
This notice has been issued to protect the health of approximately 300 customers due to elevated levels of manganese in the supply.
Please note this is not a Boil Water Notice. Boiling the water is not a suitable measure to make the water safe to consume. It is especially important that mains drinking water is not given to bottle fed infants.
An alternative water supply is available for affected customers at Three Mile House.
Customers are advised to bring their own containers to take water. Customers are also advised to boil this water before use as a precaution, as per HSE guidelines.
