Culdaff Boil Water Notice 28.04.26



A Boil Water Notice remains in place on the Culdaff Public Water Supply. The notice was issued in February to protect public health following elevated turbidity levels which affected the treatment process at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant.

Uisce Éireann confirmed that well drilling and yield testing are currently underway at Culdaff Water Treatment Plant. These works are essential to informing the design of a new water treatment plant, which is intended to increase water availability for Culdaff and surrounding areas in the longer term.

Unfortunately, the ongoing drilling activity has resulted in increased turbidity in the water being produced at the plant. As a result, the Boil Water Notice must remain in place at this time.
