Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health. Due to the strike action arising from a dispute between the Unite Trade Union and 12 Local Authorities, Uisce Éireann took the necessary steps to protect public health by imposing Boil Water Notices on these schemes.
Ronan Walsh, of Uisce Eireann, acknowledged the impact of the notice and thanked the local community for their patience and support:
"Uisce Éireann’s primary focus remains the protection of public health. Due to the strike action arising from a dispute between the Unite Trade Union and 12 Local Authorities, Uisce Éireann had no choice but to put several Boil Water Notices in place to protect public health.
Ronan added: “I would like to thank the impacted communities across Waterford City and County who were impacted by the notice for their patience and support and we are also grateful to elected representatives and the media for their assistance in sharing the information during the past number of days.”
